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 thirty-two years older and some might even say thirty-two
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 16.
The 16 have
completed all thirty-two 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 21 April
2013, will be the 33rd and, will again, be sponsored by
VirginMoney Please browse the rest of this site
to learn more of this unique group of people.
