36,000 runners were on the streets of London yesterday for the Virgin London Marathon
26th April 201036,000 people took to the streets of London for the 2010 Virgin London Marathon. Despite forecasts for hot weather, the elements proved to be perfect for the runners with a fair amount of light rain. Tipped to win the race, Mara Yamauchi of Great Britain, did not manage to run fast enough on the day. No doubt, her 6 day journey back to the UK because of the volcanic ash took its toll on her performance. The Russian Liliya Shobukhova was first over the post. Boris Johnson was thrilled at the turnout and the capability of London to put on such a streamlined and successful event.
