What a fantastic day the London Marathon 2015 was, granted the weather wasn't sunny and hot, but apparently it was just right for running!
Scout Radio was around the course at various points interviewing the scouting runners and volunteers who take part and help make it happen, we cheered them along and also gave them a big congratulations at the end.
Well done to all the Scouting Runners that have taken part and have helped to raise thousands of pounds for national and local scouting causes.

David Tapsell who has run the London Marathon once before back in 2013 has taken up the challenge to run for Scouting again, raising almost 2'500 pounds! It's fantastic to see him take on this challenge again, and Scout Radio's Kayleigh caught up with him the day before the race to find out how he's feeling:

Strategy & Evolution
All those who have mourned the passing of the Sun Run and Malvern can breathe a huge sigh of relief as Gloucestershire Scouts are replacing them with two new events both to be held in Cirencester Park - giving a huge 3'000 acres to play in!
For Scout age members Strategy, running the weekend on 12th-14th June 2015, is a day long Incident Hike where teams need to work out which challenges to take on and in which order to maximise their points.
The following weekend the new Evolution event for members aged 14+ (and yes that means ALL members over the age of 14!) has a twist – the challenge will change every year and will only be revealed on the day!
Both events come with a full weekend of side events, discos, bands etc.

"We have tried a radio service at Marra before, but nothing as strong and interactive as Marra Radio that the Scout Radio team came in to run. They are a very friendly, professional and approachable group of dedicated people who fitted right into our operation. From the first email booking them to the weekend its self it was a very smooth hassle free service, which is ideal when organising events of this scale. For many of the young people it would have been their very first chance to take to the airwaves and we received some very positive comments from all who took part, including those who listened on site and at home. Would 100% recommend them for any large scout event and I look forward to working with them in the near future."
