WATCH: Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain helping London Marathon runners refuel
ARSENAL star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain helped runners hydrate during the London Marathon yesterday.
The newest ambassador of the Lucozade Sport team was on hand to distribute drinks to the tired runners at the 23-mile point.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was joined by international rugby players Chris Robshaw, Leigh Halfpenny and Richie Gray, who also cajoled and cheered the participants in the closing stages of the race.
He joked about having 'back cramps', while standing waiting for the runners to collect their drinks, but his presence clearly gave the runners a lift.

Some of the fun runners also got chance to get some signed memorabilia, and have their picture taken with their sporting heroes.
The Lucozade Sport drinks stands were also placed at the 5, 10, 15 and 19-mile marks.
