Kelly Durbridge took on the challenge to raise money for the Parent Teacher Association at her daughter’s school, Bernards Heath.
The 46-year-old finished the 26.2mile race in four hours, 57 minutes and 43 seconds.
She said it was a great event: “I wasn’t disappointed in that for my first ever marathon.
“I am relieved mainly, because it was really hard.

“I have done half marathons before and a 20 mile race, but it is so much harder than that.
“After you get over 18 to 20 miles it is so hard, but the crowds were amazing.”
