London Marathon 13 April: Why not support the charity promoted by one of our runners, Luke?  (or click on picture)  

His message: 

Hi
I have started my training ready for the big day and as you can see on my teeshirt I've already been a "FINISHER" at the Dublin marathon in 2006.  I want to be able to say the same for the London marathon.
I am now free from cancer for the past 10 years but I do know that many people have not been as fortunate as me but I hope that by raising funds for cancer research we will be able to  develop new treatments to help more and more people.

Medicine Cabinet
link offered for foot problems

Dennis Denlinger says "Many runners experience foot pain and shin splints. In the past all that could be done is rest, special shoes, pain pills and surgery. Now a new discovery gives the runner tools to relieve foot pain, flat feet, shin splints and other foot problems in certain cases by teaching how to use the foot arch correctly."  For more information visit his web site and quote the RHAC website as where you found it.

The Round Rotherham is a qualifying event (1 point - 4 points needed)  for the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®

and is used as a training event for the Marathon de Sables
