"It's just been a dream to complete the London Marathon". ❤️ This year, Dr. Julie McElroy MBA was the first female frame runner to ever take part in the TCS London Marathon. Julie completed the iconic 26.2 mile course alongside her support runner Gill. The pair were brought together through the The Richard Whitehead Foundation Supported Runner Programme, in partnership with Nissan. Support runners are volunteers who are experienced runners and trained to provide disabled people with the support, access, encouragement, and motivation they need to take part in a mass participation running event. Well done Julie and Gill!

The future is active! 💥 👟 Last week, children from primary schools across north London attended a free Athletics for All event at Lee Valley Athletics Centre. 2008 Olympic 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu, three times Olympian and triple jump World Championships silver and bronze medallist Yamile Aldama and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Montell Douglas, were among the stars putting youngsters through their paces. This event was focused on inspiring activity among under-represented young people and increasing awareness of the Lloyd Cowan Bursary - a fund set up in honour of the international hurdler and world-leading coach who died in 2021. As Cowan helped a number of athletes achieve great success on the global stage, the bursary set up in his name supports the next generation of UK athletes and coaches, especially those for whom cost is a barrier to achieving their potential in the sport.
