GREAT Bentley Running Club's Paul Blackwell was awarded his blue and yellow running jersey on Sunday, officially granting him membership of the 100 Marathon Club.

This year alone has seen him complete at least one marathon each week and often two.

The year has also included some special events, including four marathons in four days and more recently a morning-afternoon double.

Blackwell becomes Bentley's second member of the 100 Marathon Club.

The 100 Marathon Club is chaired in the UK by Traviss Wilcox, an ultra runner himself who now hosts a series of enjoyable running events based in Kent.

Wilcox presented Blackwell with his 100 Marathon Club jersey as part of a ceremony that took place ahead of his 104th marathon.

Afterwards, Blackwell ran in the Cakeathon - an event that combines running with a bake-off style contest.
