This weekend sees the 38th London Marathon and it'll be my 4th. Kind of.
I've been fortunate to run London twice, in 2015 and 2017, and in 2016 I marshalled for my first time. This year I return to marshal duties.
The club I run and coach with, Witney Road Runners, has supplied marshals for London Marathon for over 20 years and we're really fortunate to have a great place on course - covering from the 20k point on Tower Bridge to just shy of half way, and then again around 22.5 miles by the Tower of London.
The atmosphere is amazing and it's awesome to see how fast the elite go and how determined the tailenders are.
You can read a more of my first experience as marshal on my off-Steem blog: https://wp.me/p1B0uE-yV
Keep an eye out on the TV for a friendly marshal at the corner just after Tower Bridge and more on here next week.
