Marathon success for Webb

ATHLETICS
-
MILLFIELD and Wells City Harriers' athlete Tom Webb won the TCS Mini London Marathon on Saturday.
The 17-year-old triathlete and endurance runner, from Taunton, raced the most promising young athletes from across the UK to claim the top spot over the 2.6k British Athletics Road Championship course, finishing on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace.
Webb came fourth in the 2022 Mini London Marathon and was determined to take the top spot this time.
The England Athletics talent pathway athlete, whose running career started with junior parkruns in Taunton, said: "I’m absolutely buzzing at this win. I knew I had it in me as long as everything went to plan on the day which isn’t guaranteed in highly competitive races. The atmosphere in London was electric and I had a lot of supporters on the sidelines cheering me on which really helped with the last push for the finish."
