JUDY Baird-Murray, spa manager at the family-run Metropole Hotel & Spa in Llandrindod Wells, has completed the Boston Marathon, and gained her Six Majors medal for completing the globe’s major marathons.

Judy, who is married to Metropole MD, Justin Baird-Murray, said she was overwhelmed at completing the race and receiving her Six Majors medal at the end of the race on Monday (April 15).

She said: “It’s such a thrill to have completed the Six Majors. So much hinged on this final race that I was pretty nervous before the event.”

For the last 12 months, Justin and Judy have been raising money for Velindre Cancer Care in Cardiff, where long-standing colleague, Adele Davies, has been treated for cancer. “We will be finishing our fund-raising for this year at the Man v Horse – where we kicked off last year,” said Judy. “Although, right now, I am too delighted with the current race to start thinking of another one!”

Judy’s official finishing time was four hours 36.41 minutes. She said she had been hoping to break four hours but finishing her sixth marathon major was always the “ultimate goal”.
