About us

Update - I completed it in 6:30:33 - didn't go quite to plan but I got round and ran the first 20k before cramp started to affect me. I finished strong to get it done. Thanks all who have donated ❤️

My name is Adam Henley - and I've lost 20 stone with Slimming World. I'm the 2023 national Greatest loser national winner - but more importantly I've won back a whole new life that has far more energy than before. This is my first marathon - please support me.

Training has gone well so far - am up to 30km longest ever long run and I achieved an 11 minute PB at the Kettering Half Marathon on Sunday 9th March. Training has gone well and I'm ready to taper so that I can enjoy the day and show my best.

I will be in Blue wave 18 starting at 11.25am and my vest number is 73543.

I'm running to celebrate the new me and raise important funds for Alzheimer's Research - I don't want any more friends or family to have to suffer from this horrible condition.

Thanks for your support
