LAUNCESTON marathon runner Davey Green has been selected to run as the official five hour pacer at this weekend's Brighton Marathon, where he will meet up with his icon, Paula Radcliffe. She will be introducing the pacers at the Brighton Marathon Expo on Saturday.

This is Davey's final training run before he enters the Brathay 10in10 in May, when he will be attempting to complete 10 official marathons in 10 consecutive days at Lake Windermere.
