London Marathon Write Up 2019

Congratulations and a huge thank you to all the CRY runners who took part in the Virgin Money London Marathon 2019 on Sunday 28th April. We’re extremely proud of all our runners and grateful to them all for choosing to support us.

108 runners supported CRY this year, running the 26.2-mile course through the heart of London. Running his 10th consecutive race in memory of Katrina Brown was CRY Patron Bill Neely, Chief Global Correspondent for NBC.

Runners and supporters were greeted at the start line to wish them good luck and kick off our social media coverage, as CRY staff went on to post photos on Twitter throughout the day.

After completing the marathon, in far cooler weather conditions than last year’s record-breaking temperatures, runners were invited to a post-race reception at the Washington Mayfair Hotel, where refreshments, shower facilities and much-deserved complimentary massages were available.

CRY staff, volunteers and our runners’ families and friends kindly took photographs and cheered for all of our runners at miles 3, 12, 21 and 25, giving them the extra boost they needed to keep going.

CRY volunteers were based near the finish area, to welcome the CRY runners and offer them a drink and snack whilst they waited for the CRY shuttle service to take them back to the post-race reception.

The first CRY runner to cross the finish line was David Lock who finished in 02:58:13, while the first CRY runner back to the hotel was Keith Preedy, finishing soon after in 03:04:57.

As the afternoon progressed, runners gradually started trickling back to the hotel. Staff members shuttled CRY runners from the finish to the hotel, where each of them were welcomed with well-deserved cheers and applause. They were then checked in by volunteers, offered a CRY medal, photographed by CRY staff and offered plenty of refreshments.

The main reception room was buzzing, filled with runners, families and friends sharing their experiences from the day. It was a pleasure for CRY staff to meet everyone and thank them for their incredible efforts.

The runners were taken to the massage suites where the therapists helped to relieve their aching muscles, followed by a warming shower in one of the bedrooms that had been reserved for CRY runners only.

Thank you so much to the runners and supporters who were able to come back to the hotel to meet us. And, of course, a huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers:

Linda Bilboe; Balbinder Chutti; Andy Clarke; Layla Cooke; Beth Cox; Angela Feeney; Kerry Ferne; Bob Finch; Carol Finch; Ann Fitzgerald; Caroline Gard; Peter Gard; Waverley Grainger; Don Granner; Terry Granner; Phil Harrington; Wendy Harrington; Angel Heart; Jenna Heath; Sarah Holding; Barbara Holland; Jim Holland; Abi Jonas; Pat Jones; Susanne Keen; Claudette Lilliefelth; Rob Lundberg; Alex MacLeod; Narinder Mann; Victoria Marshall; Hollie Montague; Ryan Morley; Grant Nivett; Peter Robinson; Sue Robinson; Suzanne Rowan; Lisa Stepney; Mike Tointon; Chris Turberville; Jackie Turberville; Joe Turberville; John Turberville; Katy Turberville; Lucy Turberville; Samuel Turberville; Ian Wynn; and Ada Zguros.

As always, it was a challenging and emotional day for everyone, especially for those who were running or supporting runners in memory of a young person.

Thank you to Kendall Cars Leatherhead for providing us with a discount on the hire of the two vehicles used to shuttle the runners from the finish to the hotel – we are very grateful for your support.

Finally, we cannot thank each and every one of our runners enough for their time, effort and valued support. Well done to everyone!
