The Great Newham London Run on Sunday 17th July was a special race for many runners, but it was all the more special for our very own James Linney.
Since being inspired by the London 2012 Olympics, James has tried every Olympic sport due to be played at the Rio games, which start on 5th August.
Completing the 10k race at Queen Elizabeth Park, which finishes in the Olympic stadium, was the culmination of 4 years of training for this plethora of different disciplines and of fundraising for Get Kids Going.

James also took a video of himself and Rhian completing the race on Sunday.
Well done James - what an inspiration!
