London Marathon Trek 2024 V2

6:30am, London Liverpool Street Station.

A group of 10 enthusiastic individuals from the construction industry, all geared up to embark on an extraordinary challenge: walking a full marathon. Among us were some seasoned veterans who had tackled marathons before and some first-timers feeling a mix of excitement and nerves.

The day started with the typical last-minute rush.

Our organizer, Steve Kerslake, and the media team, predictably, were running late. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 5 Live was already on the scene, ready to broadcast updates throughout the day. Their presence added an extra layer of excitement and a touch of pressure to keep our spirits high and our pace steady.
