Jack's back
By TMX Archives on 6th May 09
Just when you think it couldn't get any worse after Zorro, Captain Crash (aka Toby Eyre) took to the streets of London in the 2009 Flora London Marathon controversially dressed as Jack the Ripper complete with top hat, cape, blooded knife and Gladstone bag! With temperatures reaching the 20's on the day, it was uncomfortable enough for most runners, never mind running in full Ripper kit. A time of four hours and 49 minutes was accomplished with aching limbs and bleeding nipples!
Toby chose Jack the Ripper because Jack committed five murders and it was Toby's fifth murderous' London marathon.
Over 1,800 has been raised for The Rossendale Trust through Toby's marathon run and his charity trial organised in conjunction with Stu Day and the Staffordshire Moorlands Motorcycle Club held on Easter Sunday.
A massive thank you to all who either rode the trial, sponsored or contributed in any way to this amazing total.
