Story
Knackered! Jonathan & Peter survived the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM) in Wales, and never want to see another tussock ever again. And in September, Jonathan, Charlie and Harun (with Jay aka 'Coach') completed the Berlin Marathon. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DONORS - GREAT WORK. [check out the Berlin pictures; OMM photos should be available soon at www.theomm.com, and you can click "read more" just below for a bit more detail].

Jonathan, Charlie & Harun flew out to Berlin to run 26.2 miles on 20th Sep for Cancer Research UK. With a lot of kind sponsors we all managed to raise a huge amount. Unfortunately, cancer affects a staggeringly great number of us (including the Atkinson family at the moment), so it's a fantastic cause.
And more recently, Peter stepped into play to join Jonathan in another marathon, but this time in the Welsh Mountains, overnight, whilst carrying all food, water and tent. We also had to navigate, the old fashioned way, but our biggest challenge turned out to be the boggy, marshy, and generally unrunnable tussocky ground. We effectively had an 11hr Welsh mud bath, and we may still have the feet to prove it, but you'd probably prefer to take our word for it than take a look yourself. This is the OMM, or Original Mountain Marathon.
Now, a bit of a rest. Thanks for your support along the way.
