Ten men & true - about to start their 26th London 23 April 2006

In 2005 we were all on the Green start to celebrate the 25th London Marathon

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-eight years older and some might even say twenty-eight 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 22.

The twenty-two have completed all twenty-eight 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 will be the 29th

Sadly John Legge, Orion Harriers, died on Sunday 18 February 2001.
Chris Adams, also Orion Harriers, died in October 2002

After the 21st the organizers presented each Ever Present with a plaque to commemorate the fact.
