Blind runner's marathon seen through smart glasses

A blind runner completed a marathon using smart glasses that allowed remote volunteers to guide him in real time.

Clarke Reynolds, from Havant in Hampshire, used the Be My Eyes app to connect with sighted helpers who kept him on course throughout the Brighton Marathon on Sunday.

Reynolds, who previously completed the London Marathon with a guide runner, said he would have stopped at 15km without the support of volunteers.

He said the race was one of the best experiences of his life, adding: "This is for all the visually impaired people out there, to push the boundaries of what society tells us we can and cannot do."
