TEENAGER Tom King was one of the youngest runners to finish the London Marathon — after turning 18 just a week before the big race.
The Turton School pupil, who celebrated his 18th birthday on April 3, finished the 26-mile challenge in four hours, 28 minutes and five seconds.
Runners must be aged 18 or over to take part in the world famous marathon.
Tom, of Higher Dunscar, Egerton, raised £1,500 for the Lymphoma Association.
Wanderers fan Gareth Dunn finished the marathon in four hours, 31 minutes and 30 seconds.
The 40-year-old father-of-two, from Stoneclough, was running the marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support.
