British runner Andy Butchart is set to make his marathon debut

Andy Butchart is set to make his marathon debut later this year.

The Central AC double Olympian will race over 26.2 miles for the first at the New York City Marathon on Sunday 5 November.

Andy has a half marathon best of 62:58 which was set in New York back in March of this year.

Now he has been named in the elite field for the big one in the Big Apple in November and it will be great to see his progress as he effectively switches from the track to the road.

Andy has personal bests on the road so far of 14:04 for 5k, 28:05 for 10k and that sub-63 minutes run for the half marathon distance.
