The race is just three months away.

THE Gazette is looking for Hackney residents who are currently deep in training for the 2011 Virgin London Marathon.

If you are one of the lucky ones who got a place to run on Sunday April 17 then we want to hear from you.

We want to know about why you are running, if you have done a marathon before, how things are going, where is great to train in the borough and much more.

The Gazette is hoping to get the borough behind all our runners no matter what level they are at an encourage people to get out and get fit.
