Virtual London Marathon

As it's been a Socially Distancing, Virtual, Online kind of a year, the 40th London Marathon this year was
completed as a virtual event.
The annual race was due to take place on 26 April but was pushed back to 4 October as the UK went into
lockdown. One of our Scouts parents Ian McDonald, took part in the event, running the marathon around the
village of Fleur De Lys. Joshua decided to support his dad by joining in for part of the marathon. It was a wet
and cold day but you can see form the pictures that didn't slow them down and they finished when it was
dark - we are very proud of Josh and his dad, well done to them both - great effort!!!
