Notes: 1951 was the inaugural year. There have been earlier runs from London to Brighton but these have been sporadic and ofttimes been solo efforts. The 5:15:55 by Ian Thompson in 1980 is considered the best mark, after accounting for differences in distance from year to year; Alastair Wood's 5:11:02 in 1972 is the fastest time without regard to distance.
