Tokyo Marathon

Jim and Helen Graham from Hassocks competed in the Tokyo Marathon. Jim was delighted with a finishing time of 3hrs 16mins since his training had been hampered by an injury at the Shoreham Riverside marathon four weeks ago.

They both commented that it is probably the best organised race we’ve ever been in with the friendliest crowds and volunteers. It was therefore a special place to complete the six major marathons (London, New York, Berlin, Boston, Chicago & Tokyo) for which they received a special medal. Following the race they had a wild night out in Tokyo, where the crowds loved their medals.
