London Landmarks Half Marathon

Lucinda in London

On Sunday 25th March, Grantham Running Club’s Lucinda Gamble took part in the first London Landmarks Half Marathon. It's been four years in the making. The event raised over £4 millon
for various charities. There were over 15000 participants with lots in fancy dress - some even dressed up as the landmarks. They were a few celebrities running the race, to name a couple Amanda Holden and Jenny Faulkner.
The race started in Pall Mall and headed through the city taking in all the different landmarks on the way and finishing in Whitehall just outside 10 Downing Street, where there were Pearly Kings & Queens and Chelsea Pensioners giving out the medals. There were supporters lining the streets all the way around the course, plus loads of entertainment. The weather was dry & overcast, brightening up later in the morning.
In her 5th attempt at the half marathon distance, Lucinda produced a solid time of 2:30:29. Not her fastest but that wasn’t the main objective for this race. She was running on behalf of The Stroke Association in memory of her late Uncle Arthur who passed away in June from a terrible stroke. She said ‘I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who donated to this great cause. Once I've collected all the monies I will have raised £600’.
