Leicester Marathon 2011
| Leicester Marathon 2011
9th October 2011 This year's Leicester Marathon was a fantastic event with 5 runners completing the Leicester Half Marathon in aid of Action Homeless. Karen, Hannah, Christina, Promise and Stacey all entered the half marathon with some impressive times being set. Hannah Malcherczyk completed the route in 1 hour and 48 seconds, a fantastic achievement! Karen, Director of Operations at Action Homeless, completed the half marathon in 2 hours and 17 minutes, beating last year's time by a long way. Stacey Wragg from Aspire Magazine, who are supporting Action Homeless as their charity of the year, managed an impressive time of 2 hours and 26 minutes. A team of Action Homeless stewards were also there to help make sure the event was a success. The team of 7 marshalled the route as it came back into the city centre near St Margaret’s Bus Station. They offered much needed encouragement to all the runners as they tackled the last 2 miles of the route. All of the stewards did a fantastic job of making sure all of the runners kept on track and kept their enthusiasm going throughout the event. Our runners were treated to a much needed massage after the race, the massages were kindly provided by Helen Cockle. To have a look at more photos from the marathon please visit our facebook page.
