Seabank Marathon 2007
Written by Angela Gooch on June 7th, 2007 in Skegness Latest News.
The annual Seabank Marathon took place today, Sunday 10th June 2007.
Runners were on their marks at Skegness lifeboat station on Tower Esplanade and the Mayor of Skegness officially started the race at 8.50am.
The race finished at Boston College, Skirbeck Road, Boston, and was in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief.
We were at the start of the Seabank Marathon when the starting gun fired.
We snapped some of the runners in Skegness before the 2007 Skegness Marathon began:

The Mayor of Skegness, Coun Ken Milner welcomed everyone to the 30th Seabank Marathon, wished everyone good luck and started the serious runners off, with a helping hand ..er..thumbs up from Jolly Fisherman.
The commentator gave the runners some useful basic advice - as you’re running, keep the sea on your LEFT - if it’s on your RIGHT, you’re heading back to Skegness!
The serious athletes start off on the marathon:
Then the fun runners set off. Some just walked…
…some just talked…
…but hopfully, all reached Boston in the end!
Video of the start of the race:
We’ve been contacted by several of the runners asking if anyone has any pictures of the finish of the marathon. Did YOU take any pictures of the athletes as they crossed the finishing line? If so PLEASE send them in to us. Thank you!
