An amateur Albrighton runner has crossed the finishing line on his 400th marathon.
Nick Cockburn, who is 667th on the world list for most races completed, began his marathon running a decade ago as he wanted to lose weight.
Nick, who took just over six hours to finish the Long Mynd trail, received a special badge to mark the occasion from the 100 Marathon Club and was also joined on the 26.2 miles by several friends who he had run with over the last decade. “Thankfully my good friend Denzil Martin had a race taking place on the Long Mynd, so I switched to that one.
“Some people love to go to the pub at weekend. I do that too but prefer to run 26.2 miles first. It’s a great way of seeing different parts of the UK and the rest of the world, some places where I’d never dream of going on holiday.”
