EACH November we start to follow the intrepid Harlow residents who have signed up to run the London Marathon in April.

This year the race is on Sunday, April 27th, 2025.

Taking on all 26 miles 385 yards is quite a daunting task.

I am sure you want to raise as much money as possible for your charity.

Each month, we drop in and find out how your training is going, how far is your Sunday run. Our favourite comment is “I just want my Saturday night back!”.

Now and again, there are niggles and tears before bedtime but in our experience the Harlow runners are a steely lot.

We can let readers know about any fundraising events you have organised such as quiz nights, race nights, afternoon teas to name just a few.

We can share your fundraising page, your social media channels or however you are promoting your challenge.

Each person’s journey is different but you will all hope to make it down the finishing line close to Buckingham Palace.

On the day, we follow your progress via the London Marathon app.

And then, like any sporting event, we publish your photo at the finish with that medal!

So let us know all about you.

Good luck.
