Thanks for uploading this. Great memories. My mother had videotaped the original broadcast only to have my father tape over it recording the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Special months later!!

Steve, so many thanks - really appreciated to have running history available to see and recall. The statistics and record books do not capture the event, which it does so well. Cheers,

Great to see legendary Ron Hill run so well at 42

I trained with Gerry Helme a few times in the mid-80s. Pity the BBC didn't show all the race in the early years.

cashcrop70 met Gerry last year, great bloke and spoke very sportingly of his battle with Mike Gratton

Amazing! My Dad ran this marathon too and also in ‘82! So proud of him as I’m sure you are of yours too x
