Malcolm (The Mountain Goat) Collins

I’ve been at A & T since Feb 2008. Before that I was a member of Swinton Running Club for over 10 years but moving to Leigh made Swinton a bit of a trek. I’d like to think I still have some good friends there.

To be eligible to join the 100 Marathon Club or to run a sub 3 hour Marathon , both highly unlikely maybe these are more of a dream than a goal.

Music especially New Romantic Eighties, Electronic and Classic House. Memorabilia from the Hacienda Night Club, I loved the place when I was younger and even have a piece of the dance floor! I am a member of Eccles Archery Club, shoot a recurve bow and hope to get a traditional long bow one day. Ford 100E vintage vehicles, Lotus Esprits and other British sports cars.

The Chicago Marathon not just because it was my fastest marathon but everything about the holiday was great. A brilliant holiday with my wife Yuk-Lam, fantastic hotel, perfect weather, went up both the Sears tower and the John Hancock Center , the hotel arranged a stretched Limo to the start, and it finished with a PB in Grant Park. I would like to return one day and do it all over again.

Angelina Jolie – (Only joking!)

Ron Hill – A local living legend, who I have seen at many races and is a running inspiration.

Also any runner I meet at a marathon race, wearing a 100 Marathon Club vest, total respect!

I must add how I love being a member of A & T as the members are such a friendly bunch, it’s a joy to be a part of it.

I’m always looking to compete in hard, hilly and challenging running races, if you know any please let me know!
