<b>Day 13</b><br>

The NMYP May Marathon runners completed another solid 24 miles on day 13 to make more great progress on their virtual journey from Lands End to John O'Groats. 

Setting off from Lilleshall, just south of Newport, Shropshire the team moved through Newport, Eccleshall, Swynnerton to reach Stoke on Trent for their overnight stop.

Strange fact 13</b><p> Stoke-on-Trent is the home of the pottery industry in England and is commonly known as the Potteries. Formerly a primarily industrial conurbation, it is now a centre for service industries and distribution centres. Companies such as Royal Doulton, Dudson Ltd, Spode, Wedgwood, Minton and Baker & Co. were established and based there. Alton Towers Theme Park is about 10miles from the city. Robbie Williams of Take That and solo singer fame was born in Stoke Upon Trent. <p>

<b>Shout out to:</b> Leila Bass for completing her personal marathon on day 13.
