The First Yorkshire Marathon
Posted On 20 Oct 2013
Hello Class 6! Did any of you go and watch those amazing runners running the first ever Yorkshire marathon? My friend took part and ran the 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 38 minutes! I thought she was so brave! I wonder how Mrs Hearson got on? – Miss Land.
I went to watch but I didn’t spot Mrs Hearson (I think she was too fast!)
I watched it when it passed near my house! I saw people from the TV (Emmerdale), and I saw my neighbours, and I saw lots of people in fancy dress (including a banana, two Elvis Presleys, an elephant and a fairy. I didn’t see Mrs Hearson but there were so many people running it was hard to see everyone. It was a brilliant event!

I hear that Mrs Hearson has very sore legs!
I’m not surprised I’m sure I would if I did that running!
