Biography
Randall was born in Enfield, London and was a member of Finchley Harriers.[2] In 1892, Randall finished runner-up in the English National Cross Country Championships behind Herbert Heath.[2]
He won the 1899 London to Brighton race, which earned selection for the marathon at the 1900 Olympic Games. However, he was one of six runners who did not finish the race, attributed to the warm weather on the day.[2][3]
He died in Enfield, London.[2]
