Richard completed the marathon in an amazing 4 hours 25 minutes, despite dreadful weather. WELL DONE RICHARD!!
Richard Groome is once again looking to push the boundaries and is taking part in Europe's Toughest Road Marathon this Saturday. The route which encircles Wales highest peak, Snowdon, is not for the faint hearted and even Richard admits "only a fool would chose this as their first ever marathon"!

Starting in Llanberis the marathon begins with an intimidating 4 mile climb up the notorious Llanberis Pass. It would appear that there is then some respite as the route is downhill for the next 9 miles (isn't running downhill harder on your muscles though, Rich?). The really bad news however is that the worst climb comes after 21 already gruelling miles.
Please help improve the lives of people living with cancer by sponsoring Richard below, and leaving him your message of support and encouragement - we think he'll need it!
