JUST a quick thank you to everyone that was involved in the Bournemouth Marathon on October 5 – it was a truly excellent event in which I was lucky enough to run in.

Even if my time was slower than planned it was by far the best organised and most passionately supported running event I’ve ever attended.

The crowds of people really kept us all going as we ran what has to be one of the best routes in the country.

I hope it inspires even more to take part next year If you could bottle that magic you'd make a fortune – can’t wait to do it all again next year!
