    Default London Marathon 2012

    Is running a sport ?

    Virgin London Marathon

    Anyways, a load of mentalists will be running/walking/stumbling about London on Sunday.

    You wouldn't catch me doing that sort of thing.

    My boss is running in it. He has raised almost £3000 in sponsorship.

    Bloody hell.

    Charity donations rocket to £35,000 for hairdresser, 30, who collapsed and died on final bend of London Marathon

    Claire Squires, from Leicestershire, was on the last mile of the 26.2mile course when she fell to the ground at Birdcage Walk near St James's Park

    She had raised more than £500 for charity by running the marathon - but this today increased to over £35,000 as news of her death spread

    Shocked friends leave tribute messages online to 'brightest star in the sky'

    How much cash would she have raised in her life if she'd survived though?

    The Samaritans must be secretly happy that she died.

    It wasn't banned at the time though, from what the article says.
