First was the London Marathon.
Returning to its normal April slot for the first time since 2019, the London Marathon is a bucket-list event for many runners of all abilities.
Burgess Hill Runners had 14 lucky members with places this year – some running it for the first time, some coming back from injury, and some chasing PBs.
