Couple complete New York Marathon

Winton husband and wife John and Rachel Langford are delighted to have finished the New York Marathon yesterday (NZ time). Rachel ran beside John, who was competing in a hand cycle. He is a tetraplegic. ‘‘John completed it all by himself [unassisted], a couple of hours longer than he thought it would take,’’ Rachel said. ‘‘It was a fantastic atmosphere but we’re glad it’s done.’’
