London Marathon participant stuns crowds by racing into lead ahead of elite runners
London Marathon
A London Marathon participant stunned the crowd on Sunday by racing into the lead ahead of the elite runners in the early stages of the event. Richard Lee-Wright was more than happy to take the limelight and have his 15 minutes of fame as he raised his arms in the air to celebrate his endeavours just seconds after the race had got underway.
England women’s Euro 2022 heroes Leah Williamson, Jill Scott and Ellen White had sounded the horn to get the marathon started in the capital. And Lee-Wright from Devon took the opportunity to sprint as fast as he could to get to the front.
