James Wyatt is running the TCS London Marathon

Special Olympics Derbyshire athlete, coach and Athlete Leadership Team member James Wyatt is stepping out in search of another huge challenge by tackling the TCS London Marathon.
James, who lives in Smalley near Heanor in Derbyshire, was diagnosed with autism, ADHD, epilepsy and a mild learning disability in childhood. Yet he has competed in sport at a national and international level and wants to be an inspiration for people with intellectual disabilities by demonstrating what can be achieved through sport.
In 2019 James won a bronze medal in badminton at the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi. He has also won Special Olympics GB National Summer Games in badminton as well as basketball and football. He’s now seeking to add a finisher medal for the TCS London Marathon to his impressive medal collection on Sunday 21 April.
