Flora London Marathon 2008
You made it! Well done
The 2008 Flora London Marathon took place on Sunday 13 April and was a terrific success. Though the showers were a bit unpleasant for the spectators, they were a nice relief for the runners, who needed to cool down and keep dehydration at bay. I am pleased to report that all our runners completed the race safely, many finding it much easier than expected.
The winner of the men's race was Martin Lel, the defending champion from Kenya, while the winner of the women's race was won by Irinia Mikitenko who ran for Germany. The women's elite wheelchair race was won by Sandra Graf who broke another course record with a finishing time of one hour and forty eight minutes. David Weir was the winner of the men's elite wheelchair race with a time of one hour and thiry three minutes
