The event is a trail race based in the twin villages of Goring and Streatley on the River Thames.

The course reflects the shape of a cross and takes runners on a series of four different 25-mile out-and-back spurs using sections of both the Ridgeway and Thames Path National Trails.

Johnathon achieved 122nd place out of 300 entrants in a time of exactly 26 hours.

Richard Gardiner, Chris Lamour and Steve Offord completed the Southend Pier Marathon.
