| Number collected and ready to go |
Grantham Running Club's Andrew Pask joined 55,000 runners on the famous Champs-Élysées for the start of this year's Paris Marathon. In an international field, Andrew opting to wear a vest with his native Welsh colours was cheered on with shouts of 'Allez Pays De Galles' and 'Come on Wales' throughout the 26.2mile course. On an unusually warm day, Andrew took every precaution to keep cool, utilising any bit of shade available and even a fire hose next to the Eiffel Tower. Feeling strong at half way in 1:33:33, Andrew sensed it was his day. With other runners slowing around him he held on to the pace for the last few miles for a strong finish in front of thousands of supporters at the Arc de Triomphe. Finishing in the top 4%, Andrews time of 3:07:34 was a big personal best earning him a UK Athletics ranking over the distance.
