THE GAZETTE has launched an online web gallery with marathon runners from north Essex.
If you see someone you know click on the picture and see how you can sponsor them online.
This will be updated as more runners get in touch.
And if you're running on Sunday, don't forget to get in touch after the race to let us know how you got on, your experience of the day, and which celebs you bumped in to en route.
If you are running the marathon and have not yet got in touch please contact Will Lodge at will.lodge@nqe.com or call 01206 508334.
