11th Anniversay Great Clarendon Marathon.

Houghton is roughly the halfway point of the marathon and so we set up a drinks station.  Initially we were glad of waterproof clothing but before long the rain eased off and the runners began to come through. Despite the distance that they had run their spirits were high and many still had the breathe to chat and thank the team for their efforts.

On a fine Sunday afternoon a small group of volunteers got ready for the runners.
