Update December 2025
Gemma has informed the club that she will not be able to complete the two more qualifying events this year required to secure her place. The reserve Liam Shields will therefore take up the place.
The Club draw for its allocation of two guaranteed entries to the 2026 TCS London Marathon made on 12 November included 26 eligible club members.
Only members who have not run previously in the London Marathon (19 members) were included in the draw for the first place. The remaining 7 members and the 18 unlucky members from the first draw were then eligible for the draw for second place.
The winners were Tim Devenport (first draw) and Gemma Winch (second draw). Gemma must complete 2 more qualifying events this year to secure her place.
The reserve is Liam Shields.
Unlucky were: Kyle Turner, Rob Halford, Jenn Ennis, Lee Newark, Rav Sangha, Tracey Williams, Lisa Bothwell, Anthony Grace, Allison Smith, Simon Aldridge, Claire Messenger, Dave Mills, Jane Ward, Ainsley Wileman, Steve King, Ben Isaac, Richards Evans, Tim Hughes, Spencer Davies, Anthony O’Shea, Joe Kelly, Clare King and Alan Smith
The event is scheduled to take place on 26 April 2026.
