Mini-marathon champ runs seventh fun run

Posted by Ed Saunt on Oct 30, 09 05:17 PM in Charity/voluntary

A Feltham four-year-old ran the mini Great South Run on Saturday - his seventh fun run in two years.

James-Tobias Norrington completed the one mile course in just 10minutes 15 seconds - a new record for him - and raised more than £100 for disabled children's charity Get Kids Going in the process.

James has previously run two Great South Runs, three Great North Runs, a two-and-a-half mile New York mini-marathon and even met marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe last year.

Mum Kelli said: "We are extremely proud of him. He can do these runs but there are a lot of kids in wheelchairs who can't - that's why he does them.

"I hope we have got an Olympic champion. He's such an active boy I'm sure his life will have something to do with sport or fitness."
