Imke Siegerist will be running the Round Reading Ultra 100k on 5th August this year and the money she raises will go towards the essential maintenance of the St Mary-at-Hill organ. We will be supporting her and cheering her on at the finish line.

The organ at St Mary-at-Hill is well looked after but there is still some essential maintenance that needs to be completed in order to keep this gem of an instrument in tip-top condition. Please help us raise the funds we need!

Imke says, "I got into marathon running by chance as I was always the worst one at sports at school and discovered I had a skill for running by doing a 12-minute run at school. One day I decided to run a marathon and then I wanted to keep myself active in winter. I then saw a movie based on the Comrades marathon in South Africa (55 miles) and wished to take part. A year later I did it and again the following year. The rest is history as this was followed by various marathons and ultra-distance races."
