TCS London Marathon 2024

21 Apr 2024, London

Congratulations #TeamSailorsSociety for being part of the world's most famous marathon!

George Belcher, Becky Bryant, Dereck Camacho, Carl King, Henry Kirk, Josias Moretto, Alistair Scarff and Steve Wilson all ran to raise funds for our work with seafarers and their families and we cannot thank them enough for their efforts.

Some of our runners were seasoned veterans of the London Marathons but for others, like Carl King, this was their first time tackling the 26.2 miles.

What a fantastic day - one of the best of my life. I had some family and friends cheering me but, in all honesty, it was the other runners I came across who spurred me on.In the last mile I was done - my legs had completely seized up, but then a fantastic gentleman gave me a push and we completed it together. He was running for his father who passed away with cancer. But it was not just him, the amount of inspiration on that track is something else. I am definitely coming back next
