On Monday Paula Radcliffe, Life Vice President of Bedford & County, ran the Boston Marathon finishing in a time of 2 hours 53 minutes 46 seconds. This run breaks her own W50 marathon club record that she set only 7 weeks ago in Tokyo. 

The Tokyo Marathon was Paula's first marathon in a decade after retiring from competitive running in 2015, and her time of 2 hours 57 minutes 22 seconds took an hour off the previous W50 club record.

Paula has added Six Star finisher to her roll of honour after completing the Boston Marathon as her final World Major Marathon. In a full circle moment Paula was awarded her Six Star Medal in Boston, 33 years after she won her first international medal there at the World Cross Country Championships in 1992.

Congratulations Paula!
