TWO brothers who are taking on 17 half marathons are preparing for one on their home turf.

Darren and Phil Gibbons are taking part in the Hereford Half Marathon this Sunday as part of their 2017 Runathon.

It will be their eighth half marathon of the year as they raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK.

Darren said: "We’re really looking forward to running Hereford as it will be our home race."
