Who on earth are these people?...
what is this Web site about?
They are a body of men whose common
denominator is the London Marathon. Back in 1981 they all took part
in the inaugural race of what is now the leading Marathon in the
world. In most cases, but definitely not all, they have less
hair, less teeth, less ability - however, their driving force, dedication
and perseverance is still there. One thing is for certain they
are all twenty-nine years older and some might even say twenty-nine
years wiser!
Yes, these 42
runners belong to that worthy group called the "Ever
Present". After the fifteenth London Marathon (1995)
the group was acknowledged "by the powers that be" and
they were awarded with a special commemorative medal, sweatshirt
and a guaranteed acceptance for future London's. The
original 42 have now been whittled down to 21.The twenty-one have
completed all twenty-nine London
Marathons - some times quicker and sometimes slower. They
cover the whole spectrum of today's athletics; they come from all
walks of life, different locations and assorted occupations (?)
most are now retired!!
Next year's event on 25 April
2010 will be the 30th and will have a new sponsor,
VirginMoney Please browse the rest of this site
to learn more of this unique group of people.

with a plaque to commemorate the fact. |
