Dan Sims from the Uckfield Runners Club completed one of the most prestigious races in the running calendar last Monday – the world renowned Boston Marathon.

Dan is very experienced in marathon running, having now ran 16 in total, including several overseas.

His success in Boston means that he has now completed four of the six marathons that form the official world majors series.

The Tokyo and New York Marathons remain for Dan to complete the set! Congratulations to Dan for an exceptional achievement.
