🏅 Newport Marathon – Well Done Team! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Two of our four runners have been in touch today, proudly sharing photos of their medals from the Newport Marathon – and what an achievement!
Tony has now completed his fourth half marathon of the year, all while raising funds for Great Oaks Hospice. His original goal was to run six half marathons during 2026, but he’s now raised the bar and is aiming to complete an incredible twelve half marathons to commemorate his 60th birthday. What a fantastic challenge!
