Over the past couple of weeks numerous OQs have been busy pounding the roads (and desert) to take place in marathons, ultra-marathons and
other races. Congratulations to each and every one of you who has taken
part; many of you have raised money for worthy causes.

Fizzy Egan (nee Edwards) ran her 18th London Marathon and said “she saw a few OQ’s supporting brilliantly on the way round”.

Abby Rowton ran the London Marathon in 4:27.

In early April Holly Saunders took part in the gruelling Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert, in aid of Mencap. The 6 day, 251 km ultramarathon is approximately 6 marathons in distance.
