Look out for Evel Knievel as he runs the London Marathon for Headway East Northants

It’ll be hard to miss Thomas Bolton as he takes part in this weekend’s London Marathon – dressed as Evel Knievel!

Thomas has been busy training for Sunday’s marathon and is looking forward to the big day.

While many runners will be wearing sportswear, Thomas has revealed that his outfit will see him dressed as Evel Knievel, the American stunt performer and entertainer who was famous for his motorbike stunts and tricks.

Thomas, who has taken part in the 26.2 mile race before dressed as the tardis as well as Del Boy’s three-wheeler from Only Fools and Horses, will be running for Headway East Northants.
