Staff from Berkhamsted School having been training hard throughout the summer to test themselves against the Chester marathon.  

It started with a casual chat over coffee in the common room, but escalated at an alarming rate.  Now Emma, Jane, Brett, Olivia and Ben have run out of excuses and find themselves on the start list for the UK's fastest marathon.

We'd like to use the race to raise awareness and funds for No Stomach for Cancer and remember Matthew Rudy Jacobs who had a talent for bringing together oddball teams to do amazing things.
