We want to take this opportunity to thank all our marathon runners who participated in Monday’s Women’s Mini Marathon.

We really appreciate both your physical and fundraising efforts. Although it was a wet day the turn out was fantastic. Everyone made it to the finish line safely and a little soggy. Nothing a good cup of tea and a hot bath didn’t cure.  So thank you!

There were 40,397 official participants this year with a smattering of people who did not get a chance to register in time and men dressed in dubious costumes. This is the marathon’s 28^th year and it is going from strength to strength. The race remains the biggest of its kind in the world, with double the numbers of similar events in the UK and the USA. It is also the biggest single day charity event in the country. We truly appreciate you for choosing One Family as your charity of choice. Words can’t fully express how much your fundraising means to us. You all have a lot to be proud of! Some of those that started off from One Family on the day can be seen below.
