Beachy Head: Woman set to compete in her 150th marathon

Kate Knight has run 100 marathons since undergoing major back and knee surgery seven years ago

A woman is set to run her 150th marathon at the age of 64.

Kate Knight, from Reigate, Surrey, will compete in the Beachy Head Marathon, East Sussex, on Saturday.

Ms Knight, who will be running alongside her husband, had a total left knee replacement and surgery on her lower spine seven years ago, and has since completed 100 marathons.

She said she felt "so proud to have achieved this" and her plan was "to keep going to at least 300 marathons".

After running the Beachy Head full marathon on Saturday, Ms Knight plans to compete in the half marathon on Sunday.

She is taking part to raise money for Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust charity.

She said: "This feels like a fantastic milestone to be doing this one because before going in for the knee replacement, the consultant said I wouldn't do another marathon post op and it's now my 100th.

"Beachy Head is one of my favourite marathons because of the scenery and the atmosphere."
