Explorers at Nottingham Marathon - Sept 2010
This year's Nottingham Robin Hood Marathon was the biggest ever and Explorers from Central Notts were out in force helping at the finishing point. 23 Explorers and leaders from the Equinox, Gemini and Invictus units from Carlton, Gedling and Southwell manned the Goody Bag Station stocked with 12,000 Goody Bags.
These were handed out to the weary runners after they had collected their medals together with applause, encouraging words and sometimes help in opening their drinks bottles!
The Explorers and their Leaders are pictured here posing at the finishing line before manning their post.
