Marie Jones, 68 years old, completed the Southampton marathon last Sunday. She has been Dartmouth resident for over a quarter of a century and each mile in the marathon represented a year of her time in Dartmouth.

Sunday’s marathon completed a round dozen finished by Marie since she began running.

The Southampton marathon was a replacement for the London marathon as Marie had kindly given her registered place to another runner who had yet to compete at the London event.

Marie is member of the Dartmouth Athletic Club.
