Don Turner an Omega manual wind chronograph timepiece Olympic, No.2852508, black dial with Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds dial and stopwatch minutes timing dial, hour and minutes hand with sweep red/orange split seconds timing hands, outer bezel marked with 10th of seconds Don was an international standard distance runner, running 65 marathons in his career, but his real talent was in longer races. He broke the World Record for a 6-hour track run in appalling conditions on the cinders at Stompond Lane. He twice won the race around the Isle of Man TT course, and in the 1962 Comrades Marathon in South Africa (54 miles and 4,000ft of ascent), he was part of a team of three Surrey runners who finished in the first four places. Altogether he ran 135 races at distances longer than 26.2 miles. When he stopped running, Don threw himself into athletics officiating and administration. He has been president, secretary, treasurer and race organizer, of the Harriers, of Surrey Athletics, of the South of England AA, of South of the Thames Cross Country Association and many more. As an official his first love was timekeeping and he became one of the leading timekeepers in the South of England; Surrey timekeepers talk of Don as their inspiration and mentor. In 1981 he worked with Chris Brasher and John Disley to organise the first London marathon. He played a key role in organising the finish and the timekeeping at that first London Marathon.
