LOROS Runner Gill McGarry said: "It was such a fantastic day, the noise, the people, the shouting, the music - it was very special.
"To top it all I took a taxi to the station to get to the start and the driver was a Tottenham fan and gave me £10 back to sponsor me - then Leicester won 4-0...if Carling made Sundays!"
