| Name | Time | pb | cr | std | Comment |
| Danielle Harrington | 3:22:44 | No | No | No | I can’t thank the Trr team enough! The support from them all was truly amazing,! I didn’t get the time I wanted but I had a great day. |
| Simone Hilliard | 3:30:03 | Yes | No | No | Proud to be part of TRR G3 girls! Finally feel I have my place to run alongside these epic women! Loved running the first 15.5 with Morven before heading to the finish to get the PB by 8 minutes. Fantastic experience and great to see so many out on course supporting. |
| Peter Banks | 3:30:09 | No | No | No | World record by 14 minutes. Thank you to Vicky for running with me 👍🏻 |
| Morven Hurding | 03:33:14 | Yes | No | No | Absolutely incredible to share experience with so many TRR’s & Simone for 15miles. The club scream team were awesome. Found it a struggle – don’t set out too fast & fuel properly! So not what aimed for but delighted with PB. Elevation 381ft. |
| Vicky Knight | 03:35:24 | No | No | Yes | silver std |
| Ryan Naidoo | 03:47:45 | Yes | No | No | Debut marathon and London exceeded all expectations. Thank you to all of the TRR members for their support throughout training and in the lead up to the event – it just reiterates the benefits of being a part of a (brilliant TRR) running club. Special shoutout to Danielle (“Daniel” if Mark is reading this), Morven, Simone, Vicky, Carl & Lucy for keeping spirits up and just being amazing company in the blue wave start area pre-race, it 100% set the foundations for a brilliant day. Thanks to all the TRR members around the course, sorry to those that I did not acknowledge – everyone says it but the crowds really do spur you on in those tough moments, and every little shoutout, name call & cheer is greatly appreciated! Will I do another marathon again, probably. Will I be in a rush to sign up for another marathon race… probably not! Ryan |
| Brian Reed | 4:05:28 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Experience I shall remember for the rest of my life. The crowds, atmosphere and support was amazing. Seeing and hearing my TRR buddies at around 24 miles really helped me get over the line. Managed to improve my PB by 24 mins, Silver Std and Club Record so really happy with that. |
