And McFly’s Harry drove home after the race to recover, claiming he had some bad blisters and “bleeding nipples” after the run.
But before the mass event began this morning, there was a moving rendition of the national anthem in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died last month.
After the ceremony, the elite men and crowd group were launched by England Lions Leah Williamson, Ellen White and Jill Scott.
Many of the participants did so for charity, often with moving personal stories behind why they put their bodies to the test after spending months and sometimes years preparing for the big event.
