Page last updated 10 Aug 2008. Photo shows NEVAC member Jim Manford completing his second and final lap through Palma Nova heading towards a welcome finish in Magaluf Sports Complex on 10th December 2006. Jim completed his 100th Marathon in Ireland in early 2008 and was presented with a special trophy by The 100 Marathon Club and also by NEVAC for his excellent achievement. Congratulations Jim! If you have applied to enter the 2009 London Marathon and get the dreaded Reject Slip in December you may wish to apply for the NEVAC guaranteed places. Contact Secretary George Routledge before Christmas Day. Along with George Routledge - Jim Manford also competed in the 2007 London Marathon and The 2007 Dublin City Marathon. It was Jims third and Georges first Dublin, and is highly recommended for those who want to combine a good course with good Guiness!! The 2007 Benidorm Marathon produced an excellent performance from NEVAC member Michele Moran who showed a clean pair of heels to marathon runners five years her junior - to win a huge trophy for third lady over 40 - in a new p.b. time ! Jim Manford completed his 95th marathon and Michele's friend Janette Kilgour of local NE club Claremont RR was a prize winner in the W55 section of the half marathon. Amongst the dozens of fellow Brits in Benidorm , club Secretary George Routledge competed in the half and toasted their success after the race!
