It is not a flat lap of a town centre. The route runs through the Norfolk countryside on the Royal Family's winter estate, a couple of miles from our yard in Dersingham, and he crossed the line with the medal to prove it.
Before the run
Back in August, Luke recorded a short message about why he was taking this one on, and it is still worth a watch.

Luke's message
Hello everyone.
On 27th September, I will be running the Sandringham Half Marathon to raise money for Down's Syndrome Norfolk, registered charity 1098031.
For those of you who know me, you will know that Down's syndrome is something that is very close to my heart, so I wanted to do my bit to help support an incredible charity that does so much for families across Norfolk.
If you are able to spare even £1, it would mean the world. Every donation, no matter how small, goes towards a fantastic cause and makes a real difference.
Our goal is to raise £1,000, and with everyone's support I am really hoping we can get there for such a worthwhile cause.
Thank you so much to everyone who donates, shares this, or comes along to support on the day. It genuinely means a lot.
See you all on 27th September.
Thank you
We got there, and it is down to everyone who gave. Down's Syndrome Norfolk supports families right across the county, and Prestige Roof donates funds from every job towards their work. You can read more about that, and about the other causes we stand behind, on our Giving Back page.
The JustGiving page is still open if you would like to add a little more.
