My Story

Let’s rewind to 2009. An 18-year-old Nic Minns staggers across the London Marathon finish line, just scraping past his dad’s time and claiming the coveted Minns Family crown. Sitting on the pavement outside St James’s Park, legs in bits and ego fully inflated, I swore I wouldn’t run another one until someone took that title off me.

Seventeen years later… the crown is still firmly on my head.

So why the fuck am I doing this again?

Well, this time, it’s not about chasing a time or proving a point - I mean… I am absolutely aiming for a PB... It's about using the miles, the effort, and the challenge to do something that actually matters beyond the finish line.
