Official Race Pictures

These pictures were taken just as we entered the Olympic stadium, after 42km of running. As can be seen, we are both pretty exhausted.

Crossing the Finish Line

In this video we can be seen crossing the finish line hand in hand. We appear after aprox. 45 seconds and cross the finish line after 53 seconds.
Pay Attention!

To Guy, our number one fan, for being our running buddy for all these months,
and to our parents, without whom this whole event could not take place.
See you in next marathon!
