Pete has been a qualified Track and Field coach for over 45 years with schools and clubs, and in 2010 was invited to be President of the Dorset County

organised numerous competitions, including the National Schools Cross Country Championships at Budmouth, and officiated at countless other events in the South West. Other successes include many
years Team Managing for Dorset Schools, and as Race Organiser for the Weymouth 10. He has competed in over a hundred marathons and ultras, including 17 Londons, and currently holds the world best
Veteran Age Group score for the One Day Icosathlon. Pete has given a huge amount to the community and carrying the torch would be a wonderful way to thank him.
