Googling Half Marathon and you get the 21Km bit just in case you don’t know!
“A road race of 13.1094 miles or 21.0975km is exactly half the distance of a full marathon”
And if you subtract 2003 from 2024 you get 21 years so now you know!
Baby Patrick Gerard will be in the heart of everyone in and around the day.
