For some it was the chance to beat that elusive personal best while for others it was the opportunity to do something monumental in memory of a heroic rescue or a loved one lost at sea.

Lee Popplewell, who survived a heart attack only 18 months ago says: ‘I’m so happy to have completed the London Marathon in a time of 04:16:52, I’ve succeeded in a great personal challenge while raising much needed funds for this lifesaving charity.
 
‘I’m already thinking about signing up for next year, though for now I might enjoy a couple of days rest.’

John Figiel, who, along with friends Paul and Lee, will be running over 400 miles for the RNLI in 2015 said: ‘What a great day, perfect weather and a brilliant run. Looking forward to next year!’
