MARATHON AND CHALLENGE EVENTS 2016

  • The Virgin Money – London Marathon
  • The Prudential – RideLondon-Surrey 100
  • The Royal Parks Foundation – Half Marathon

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my volunteer helpers at the Virgin Money London Marathon Exhibition who gave up their own time to assist in the manning of our fantastic stand at the Expo to meet our 2016 marathon runners. I could not have managed without them!!

Our sincere and grateful thanks to all our participants in the Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 24th April, The RideLondon-Surrey 100 on Sunday 31st July and the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday 9th October 2016. Thankfully the weather was kind for all the events.

In April for the Virgin Money London Marathon we were again privileged to use the wonderful facilities at The Storeyard in St James’s Park where we greeted our runners who completed the 26.2 miles and we provided them with hot showers, massage and refreshments. The Storeyard is a haven of peace where our runners can meet up with their families and friends. Huge thanks as always to The Royal Parks for allowing us to use The Storeyard and to Dan Scott for providing the team of massage therapists who tirelessly treated our weary runners. Our wonderful team of volunteers extended a warm and enthusiastic welcome to all the Phabkids runners and their loved ones. Our runners are truly amazing and we thank them all.

A very important part of marathon day is support along the 26.2 mile route and if you would like to support our runners on 23rd April, I would welcome hearing from you either by email madeleine@phabkids.co.uk or telephone 01572 823332. You will be given supporters tee shirts and thunder sticks to cheer and encourage our valiant runners.

Phab had 18 riders in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 on 31st July who all completed the 100 mile course.  Our sincere thanks to them for completing the challenge and raising funds for Phab whilst achieving their personal goal.

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday 9th October was a big success. Our thanks are extended to our runners for supporting Phab & Phabkids. Special thanks go to Richard Hemans, Alan Roper and Jill Kerr of Blue Diamond (Fryer’s Roses – The Phab Rose) for taking part in the event.
