About
When: Sunday 27th April 2025 Distance: 26.2 miles Each year I look to set myself fitness goals to challenge myself throughout the year and keep on top of fitness. This usually involves entering the ballot of London Marathon on the off chance that I may(!) be lucky enough to get a space. This year I did! Myself and my three friends run regularly around our home town but I’ve only ever run one marathon before. I was also the only one of us to get in this year, which is daunting, but they won’t let a little thing like ballot stop them… they will be running the marathon in reverse, starting at the finish line, at midnight! We have completed all our training runs together and without their support, I would never have got this far! I also have the support of my brilliant husband and children. My husband isn’t a big fan of running, but understands the importance of fitness and regularly attends the gym. My two children also run with me on occasion at our local Junior Parkrun. On top of this, I also work for a wonderful company, Fisher German, who are celebrating 25 years of excellence this year. As part of this celebration, the Ashford office have chosen the Evie Dove foundation to raise funds for – we will be running/walking to the London Office in October 2025!
