He told the Echo: "I'm pleased with my time, I was aiming for under an hour.
"It's a brilliant event for the city and it's a shame it took so long to get the full marathon back started again.
"I've left my fundraising in the hands of Ronald McDonald house, but it's a fantastic event for the city and the atmosphere is wonderful here today."
