What a Guy! Seville challenge for Hatton

Described as the flattest in Europe, the marathon starts and finishes in the Olympic Stadium, on La Cartuja Island, with the route taking runners though the city streets, crossing the mighty Guadalquivir River on four separate points.

It was Guy’s first marathon of the year and also his first one in Skegness and District colours.

Despite the heat, he finished in a brilliant 4:32.00.
