As per the image above I will be ruining my knees in support of ChildLine this year alongside my colleagues at Funds-Axis Ltd.

Given my advancing age and poor cardio I was originally signed up fort one of the shorter legs of the marathon (4.5 miles). However, due to a late drop-out I have had my lack of preparation rewarded with the task of completing the opening leg of 6.2 miles. This means I will be starting from Belfast City Hall and making my way towards East Belfast with a long uphill struggle along the Holywood Rd then down the Sydenham Bypass. Finally I turn off the A3 and onto Bridge End where I handover the baton and retire from marathon running.
