Thank you for the messages. I'm in kathmandu returning Wednesday morning. The trek and the first 14 miles of the race were great. The wheels fell off for the second half of the race. I will write something for the next newsletter. Jim Trueman still holds the club record for the Everest Marathon:-).
Details and results:

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.
