Hugh sets the Marathon Standard


HUGH MARSDEN of Exmouth is the first winner of the Stanley Marathon and has received £1,000 for his efforts.

Sponsored and co-ordinated by Standard Chartered Bank, the event, believed to be the world’s most southerly marathon, attracted a total of ninety-two entries, including six from overseas.

Runners competed in three categories - the men and women’s marathon and the relay event.

Kelly Angus, fastest woman, also received a cheque for £1,000 while the Football Club’s relay entry picked up the £800 team prize.
