London Marathon Coach interest
30 July 2021 - By Bill smythe
As most of you will be aware we normally arrange a coach to take our runners and spectators to London for the Marathon. In previous years we have struggled to fill the bus which has cost the club money so I would like to gauge interest before we book. Please leave a comment below or on FB where I will create a poll.
The coach will normally pick people up from Witham Football Club and drop runners off at the start and spectators in the city close to Tower Bridge. It’s a stress-free way for those running to get there as they are dropped right at the start, and a great day out for the supporters. We normally have a 49 seater coach so there should be plenty of room for everyone and charge around £15 – £20.
It is a long day – starting at 0600 at Witham Football Club car park and being picked up at 1730 from Northumberland Ave close to the finish.
Our spectators’ vantage point is normally on Tower Bridge just before the half way mark, and a great position to see all the runners as they whizz by. Conveniently, there is a Wetherspoons pub where the they can make the most of a hearty breakfast to fuel the day!

Hi Bill – I’ll definitely be up for this, as will a couple of my family members (as spectators). Also, there is a non-member who is running the marathon. Can she join us on the coach?
We give WRC members first choice but there are nearly always spaces for non-members families etc.
Hi Bill. I would be interested in the Coach for the London Marathon. Let me know if this is still available and how to pay.
