London Marathon 2010

This was the 30th London Marathon. The race has been in existence since 1981, and this year is sponsored by Virgin Money, which is part of the Virgin Group. The London Marathon is considered as one of the top five international marathons along with Chicago, Boston, New York, and Berlin. This year there were over 36,000 runners at the start line.

Ram finished the Marathon with a loaded Bergen in a time of less than six hours - very impressive considering the huge weight on his back. Ram and the other team members will be doing this amazing feat every day for up to 10 days on the March For Honour in November.
