Daniel Reuben will be one of the youngest participants involved in the London Marathon on April 13.

Turning 11 on the eve of the race, the Kinloss Synagogue member, who lives in Hampstead Garden Suburb, North-West London, will represent his school, Haberdashers’ Aske’s, and the City of London squad in the mini-Marathon, which covers the last three miles of the official race course.

Reuben has enjoyed a great cross country season at school this year and qualifying for the race is an achievement he has “dreamed of for many years”.
