THREE North Cotswold Tri and Run aces completed a hot London Marathon.

Mike Hobbs was first home for the club in three hours 21 minutes 22 seconds closely followed by Steve Edwards in his 819th marathon in 3.22.24.

Edwards had been unsure whether he would make the start line of his 23rd London marathon following a stomach bug just 48 hours before.

James Dunn finished in 5.20.48 after winning the entry through the club’s ballot.
