TWO Argus reporters ran the Edinburgh Marathon today, raising money for charity.

Natalie Crockett and Ruth Mansfield ran the 26.2 mile race in the city for three different charities.

Miss Crockett, 26, finished the race in 4 hours 15 minutes and is raising money for Velindre.

Miss Mansfield, 27, finished with a time of 5 hours 4 minutes and is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

The pair ran the Newport half marathon earlier this year and the Cardiff half marathon last year before taking on their first full marathon.
