FOMER Eastender's actors Craig Fairbrass and Billy Murray started a fun run through Epping Forest, held to raise money for a children's charity.

More than 100 people turned up to the Rhys Daniels race where participants ran through the forest and around Epping.

Craig and Billy helped give out medals and prizes to the winners at the end of the race.

But the real star of the day was 102-year-old Buster Martin who is the oldest man in the world to ever complete a Marathon.

Always up for a new challenge, Buster sped around the five mile course at top speed for the second year running.

Charity founder Barry Daniels said: “His usual treat as he crossed the finish line was his pint of Newcastle brown ale.”

Winner of the senior men was Johnny Wallis from Epping, crossing the finishing line in 28.46 minutes, and Sue Cord from Abridge won for the women with a time of 33.56 minutes.
