UPDATE on 22 March 2010: A great big thanks to all of you for sponsoring us!
In addition to those very kind souls who donated below, we managed to raise over £400 offline, enabling us to reach our target. We are truly grateful for all your generous and heartfelt donations - a massive thank you!
The money raised will go straight to Macmillan and help them to support patients, carers and families living with cancer.
The race was enjoyable but hard, and both Will and Stuart had sore legs for a few days afterwards (Nat seemed to find it all a breeze, and thankfully managed to stay injury free enabling him to continue his training for the Edinburgh Marathon - Good Luck Nat!)
Finishing times:
Nat: 1 hour 58 minutes
Will: 2 hours 13 minutes
Stuart: 2 hours 32 minutes
So one week later and we all seem to have recovered. There is talk of a marathon / half-marathon in September in Nottingham, and we have definitely been bitten by the running bug!
With thanks again,
Will, Stuart (and Nat)
