FOUR MonRoss-Trailblazers pounded the streets of London in stifling heat to complete the world's biggest marathon on Sunday.

And a fifth – Toby Dickens – ran the Manchester Marathon which was taking place the same day, finishing in a sizzling two hours 45 minutes 35 seconds.

Just behind on the clock in London was club mate Rich Foster, who came home in a blistering 2.47.25 alongside more than 56,600 finishers.

Rebecca Foster crossed the London Marathon line in 4.07.58, followed by fellow Blazers Adam Gray in 4.36.41 and Trina Sami-Brown in 5.20.23.

The club posted congratulations and photos, saying: "It's medal Monday and we wanted to give a huge shout out to our amazing marathon runners from yesterday.

"Despite the soaring heat, our incredible runners pushed through with determination and grit that truly inspired us all.

"From triumphant comebacks after injury to smashing personal bests and crossing the finish line with incredible times, every single one of you showed what dedication looks like.

"Your achievements — whether measured in minutes, miles, or milestones — made us proud beyond words.”

Rich, who first did the London Marathon back in 2003 and returned in 2017 and 2018, said he was "really excited to be able to share the experience with Becca running her first London Marathon".

Trina, who won the club ballot for a place, ran the race fundraising for Many Tears Animal Rescue via gofundme.

Beforehand she said: “I never thought I’d be running the London Marathon... being able to take in the atmosphere I’ve watched from my sofa for so many years!”

Elsewhere, two Trailblazers took to the trails and the Cwmyoy Horseshoe Fell Race, a tough 5.6-mile run with 1200ft of climbing in the Black Mountains overlooking the Llanthony valley.

Kieron Brown finished in third overall in 41.45, in a race won by Mynydd Du’s Jonathan Ford in 38.09, with his club mate Wyndham Turner second in 39.04.

Elle Lumley also finished in 29th place and eighth fastest woman in the 99-strong field, crossing in 50.43.
