We were delighted to supply the bouquets for the winners of the Brighton Marathon 2014.
For the fifth year running, there was a course record in Brighton as William Chebor smashed the previous best with a fine run of 2:09:25. That was well over a minute inside the 2013 time of 2:10:46 and showed that the decision to improve the course had reaped the benefits.
"I didn’t expect to win," said Chebor, though it must be said that he had the fastest time of the field with his 2:08:21 and was the favourite in most people’s eyes. "It was at the 37kmark that I managed to break away from Dominic. It was very competitive. But it was also very windy."
For the women it was a different story. For the first time in five years they were unable to emulate the men with a course record, but there was certainly a personal best for Alice Milgo by over a minute and a half as she breasted the tape in 2:35:33 held by celebrity invite, world record holder Paula Radcliffe.
