Refreshments

It's important to take on plenty of liquid when running 26 miles... So the offer of free beer at the 23 mile mark was a welcome sight for many...

It's the first time I've been to watch the marathon but I'll definately go again... What a great atmosphere.. reminded me of last year''s Olympics...
oh this is great. am just about to post my photo of the marathon, and was going to say the same thing, it really reminded me of London during the Olympics - everyone was together.

Mine is no-where near as clear as this, so had to do a bit of processing !

Love it, I never got offered a free beer on the 23rd mile when I did it, that would have been very welcoming.
I love watching the marathon, was so jealous of everyone there today as I couldn't go. So much emotion and so many people achieving a great accomplishment as it is so hard.
Great capture.

I watched on TV but went to sleep halfway into the men's marathon. I think they are all mad! Loved seeing the London scenes!

Great candid capture. I wonder if the beer was part of the training plan!

I stopped drinking alcohol when training for half-marathons - seems an odd mix. Very unhappy with Farah using it as a training run - what an insult (does he need the money?) And the crash with the wheelchair was inexcusable. Poor Chris Brasher is obviously much missed - thing is becoming a shambles. Sorry for the rant.

Great candid capture. Beer and marathons just seems rather strange to me, especially with 3 miles to go.

@edpartridge haha :-)
@frankhymus these were the tail enders and walkers manly so doubt a swig of beer was going to hurt ;-)

@gooner46 yeah know what you mean... Fine if he wasn't being paid to use the race as experience... But to take such a large fee as I read in the paper is a bit off if you ask me...
