Spotted in this week's EK News under the heading "Marathon Man is 40" (he looks even heavier than that!), this picture shows our very own Gerry McParland at a time when 40 Marathons a week was no problem, indeed that was his staple diet. Legend has it that Gerry became so attached to the nickname "Marathon Man" that when the name was changed to "Snickers" he was driven to take up running just to keep the name. Now 20 years later and 20 stone lighter, Gerry is now very much the club's Marathon Man but can only manage 1 or 2 a year nowadays.All the best on your 40th Birthday from the Harriers and welcome to the world of real vets.
