c2c<\/a> is set to provide free travel across its route for all those taking part in the London Marathon on Sunday 21 April.<\/p>\n

The operator has announced that, to claim the free return trip, participating runners can present their official race number or finisher\u2019s medal to c2c staff at both their departure and arrival stations.<\/p>\n

c2c\u2019s Managing Director Rob Mullen commented: \u201cI am delighted to announce that we will once again be offering free travel across the c2c route to all those taking part in this year\u2019s London Marathon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our little way of saying \u201cthank you\u201d to the thousands of heroes who will be taking on the grueling 26.2-mile course and raising vital funds and awareness for the many great and deserving charities they represent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob, a keen runner himself, added: \u201cc2c would like to wish everyone taking part the very best of luck, and we hope you enjoy a nice relaxing and comfortable journey with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

c2c\u2019s Service Quality Manager, Emma Webster, who is running the London Marathon for the first time, said: \u201cThe London Marathon is one challenge that I have been keen to take on for many years, and I am delighted that I have now been given this fantastic opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am running for the London Air Ambulance charity and helping to raise much needed funds for a new helicopter, further helping to provide critical and timely care for those in the capital who need it most,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Over 150 London Marathon volunteers, co-ordinated by local runner Nigel Pointer and the \u2018Flyers Southend\u2019 running group, will be travelling on their own special private c2c service to help them reach the course and make this world-famous event a success. The early morning \u2018Volunteer Special\u2019 service from Shoeburyness and Southend Central to Limehouse and Fenchurch Street, will ensure that volunteers from local running clubs are in position in plenty of time to steward the event and marshal runners.<\/p>\n

c2c is hosting its own \u2018Ultra\u2019 marathon in partnership with The Railway Children<\/a> on Saturday 15 June.
