Marathon animation
Posted by Gavin Lucas, 25 January 2010, 11:49 Permalink Comments (10)

Agency Saint at RKCR/Y&R has collaborated with illustrator and animator Andy Rementer to create a series of animations for this year's Virgin-sponsored London Marathon. The animations – which will appear online on Virgin sites hosting weekly videos documenting people training for this year's event – show a host of Marathon-running characters - each sporting a particularly strong look...

The characters are also available in icon form for twitter and facebook use - here are some of our favourites:
