We will be welcoming fellow member Terry Burbidge whose topic will be “Mountain Marathon Madness.” In his younger years, he was a dedicated athlete, clocking up marathons, ultra- marathons, and all sorts of quirky endurance events.
Terry will take us back to 1987, when he joined the world’s first Everest Marathon — a grueling race starting at Everest Base Camp and descending through rugged Himalayan terrain to Namche Bazaar and forever etched in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest marathon on the planet.
As one of the pioneering participants, Terry’s story is not just about endurance, but about the spirit of adventure, resilience, and the sheer madness of running a marathon at the roof of the world. His firsthand account will give us a rare glimpse into the challenges of high-altitude racing, the camaraderie among runners, and the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas. The Everest Marathon has since become an annual event, but Terry’s experience in that inaugural race remains a unique piece of history.
Terry is a freshly retired distance learning university lecturer from the UK, now embracing the freedom of retirement with the same energy he once brought to teaching. Before his academic days, Terry was deeply embedded in the world of telecommunications, starting his career as an engineer and later steering projects as a software development manager.
