The lucky running quartet who got signed by the organisers of the London Marathon Events Ltd to race in their big 45th edition are Amanda Pearce, Claire Laurent, Ellie Baverstock and Bill Kerr.
With the hugely popularity of the competition rated as one world's biggest marathon race it has never been an easy thing for runners to get space.
Harborough's distance runners who got the nod to be part of the running carnival have their own credentials to proud of as they battle to record lifetime personal achievements.
Pearce had perfect running season last year and was nominated the club's 2024 Athlete of the Year and that could propel her to dig deeper all the way to the end.
Laurent is a quite and strong hearted veteran runner who does not want to miss out in several local running competitions. As usual, she is likely kick out her much younger opponents in the contest.
Baverstock, a former Londoner from Orion Harries AC is a fairly new member of the club who has caught the eye in a number of races.
Leicestershire selectors picked her to be part of the County cross country team which competed at the UK Inter Counties cross country championships at Wollaton Park in Nottingham early this year.
Last but not least, Kerr, a 74-year-old running stalwart is targeting to register a record 38 marathons under his belt ahead of upcoming Scotland’s Edinburgh marathon in four weeks’ time and Australia’s Sydney marathon in August.
“I have prepared well for the London marathon. I am lucky with no injuries up to now and just raring to take it on Sunday”, said Kerr.
Kerr who has defied age and a heart operation after a cardiac arrest some 13 years ago is aiming to have run a total of 40 marathons before the end of the year 2025.
