She was joined in the race by clubmates Amanda Sharp and Jo Lutner, who ran in her trademark fairy outfit. They clocked 4:04:57 and 4:29:38 respectively.

Ellen Deighton was in action in the Yorkshire Marathon, where she was running to raise funds for Student Minds, the UK’s student mental health charity.
