A GROUP of runners helped to motivate and cheer on thousands of others to the end of the London Marathon.
The Benfleet Running Club and its running community travelled up to London to support those taking part in the epic 26.2 mile race.
The 26 volunteers were stations as marshals at the 20-mile mark to cheer participants on.
