Were you one of Kent's finest - braving the blisters, chafing, soreness and thirst to take part in the world's greatest running event on Sunday?

If you were one of the tens of thousands of amateur athletes pounding the route of the Virgin London Marathon today we want to hear from you.

If this is your first - or 31st marathon - we'd love to hear about your achievement and your finishing time.

Or if you a long-suffering friend or family member, show your support and leave a message below.

Also, why not send your marathon pictures in, to multimediadesk@thekmgroup.co.uk
