MARATHON man Stuart Hardie was joined by dozens of runners on Saturday for the last of his 40 marathons.
Mr Hardie ran 39 of them in 40 days from John O’Groats to Land’s End but was forced to miss one on doctor’s orders.
He returned to Guernsey last Monday and decided to do his final one around the island.
He started from the KGV playing fields at 8.30am with three other runners.
