Thetford Athletic Club member ready for London Marathon

Clare Slattery will be taking on the 26 miles challenge to raise money for both Dementia UK and Prostate Cancer UK.

Mrs Slattery, who has worked at Co-operative Travel in Thetford for nine years, has been training three times a week to be in peak fitness for the event.

She gained a place in the famous event through the athletic club’s ballot.

Accomplished at half marathons, this will be Mrs Slattery’s first time running a full marathon.

She said she is looking forward to the event and raising money for two charities close to her heart.

She said: “This is a huge challenge for me, I have never run over 14 miles in distance and would really like to give London a go and tick it off my bucket list.”
