A new book by John Bryant celebrates 25 years of the London Marathon, one of the
most consistently successful fundraising events in recent times.
John Bryant’s salute
to the London Marathon is written from the point of view of a regular participant
in the race. His history covers the event from the starting line in Blackheath in
1981 to the latest event. It also covers the history of the marathon itself from
Pheidippides to Paula Radcliffe.

It is not of course a fundraising manual, but it does credit the “courage and the
craziness of the characters who for 25 years have run the streets of London.”

The book is published in hardcover by Hutchinson and Amazon.co.uk is currently offering
it for £8.99, a 40% discount.
