AN unusual team of Portland residents will be taking on next Sunday’s 3 Bays marathon, with four walkers with a combined age of 305 set to hit the track as part of the Portland Runners Club Running Festival.

The quartet will include veteran marathon competitors Brian Glover (who turns 81 three days after the event), Michael Pitman (78), Beryl King (74) and Alan Perry (73) will all complete a leg of the 42km event in a relay.
