"Every single one of them deserve their medal for crossing that finish line!

“I can only thank them for their incredible efforts supporting LOROS.”

LOROS Runner Gill McGarry said: "It was such a fantastic day, the noise, the people, the shouting, the music - it was very special.

"To top it all I took a taxi to the station to get to the start and the driver was a Tottenham fan and gave me £10 back to sponsor me - then Leicester won 4-0...if Carling made Sundays!"

Check out the photos in the album above, which includes all our runners at the finish.
