EX-Kingsbridge Community College pupil Luke Sturgess Durden completed the London Marathon last week.

Luke, who has run the marathon now for the eighth time, has been automatically entered into the Elite Runner section after completing the 26 mile race in two hours and 46 minutes.

He runs on a daily basis with his friends in Team Bath, with four of their other members also making good times, and came 110th place in his age group.

When asked if this was his last marathon, Luke answered: ’I will be here next year and for many years to come!’
