Letter - Half Marathon was an ace race thanks to supporters
I'd like to congratulate the organizers of the Bermuda Derby Half Marathon for putting on such wonderful event.
Many thanks to Sports R Us and the many spectators for their support, including those who gave us oranges and water - all was greatly appreciated.
My brother Archibald 'Archie' Tucker, 86, was the oldest runner to complete the entire course. He suffers from Alzheimer's disease and also has a hearing problem.
He loves running and has done so for more than 67 years, first completing the race in 1942.
During his active years, he coached such runners as Mac Smith Jr., Wycliffe Williams and Josh DeSilva, who finished 2nd on a number of occasions, as well as Ed Sherlock, who won the race several times. This year Archie and I ran to assist Age Concern and invite contributions to be sent directly to that charity.
Many thanks again for all the support we received and we look forward to competing next year.
