European Marathon Champion 2010 I would like take the scenery with me but that’s not possible of course. But I was really impressed at how the entire region supports the run. Everyone talks to you about it... everyone gets involved, that’s great and I will try to do the same to inspire more people to run where I live. Taking part in the run is good but helping out is even better.
