Joe William’s organiser and owner of Runchat UK, said the effort and funding being put into this historical day, is unprecedented.
There’s so many extra’s being added, especially with the financial support of the Ironworks, really this will be the best marathon anyone will have been involved with.
London may have years of experience, but for a Shropshire Market Town, this will be the best outside the capital.
Just compare the Medals and if you’re a runner, then you’ll see the effort the Ironworks have gone too, its plain to see.
No other marathon presents medals in commemorative velvet boxes, it’s the finishing touches this Oswestry Company are known for.
