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:

Fantastic stuff. Loving the characters!

I'm another designer getting involved with the Virgin London Marathon - running to raise money for the Spinal Injuries Association. Whatever you can spare please sponsor our efforts at http://www.justgiving.co.uk/garyandrajmarathon
