Congratulations to Steve Lang for a brilliant run in the Everest Marathon held yesterday. He was 15th overall and the second non-Nepali runner.

Details and results: http://www.everestmarathon.org.uk/index.php/component/content/article/117

All the profits from the race and much of the money raised by competitors are put into the Everest Marathon Fund, a UK registered charity that supports health and educational projects in rural Nepal.

Everyone will have their chance to contribute to this charity at our New Year event in Lyme Park on Saturday 4th January.

Steve is planning the courses and Sue Birkinshaw, who has been trekking in Nepal and is also a keen supporter of the fund, is organising.
