Worksop: Proudly represented at London Marathon

Worksop were proudly represented in the capital on Sunday when the town’s athletes raced through London to raise money for charity.

Over 36,000 runners took part in the 26.2 mile course as every effort went into crossing the finishing line.

And there was certainly no ounce of effort left at the end of the day from our runners as they rightly collected their deserved medals.
