Back by popular demand the much sought after, often fought over Quest Overseas Leader of the month. Congratulations Alix Odgers.

And, most importantly of all, six runners ran 26.2 miles in the climbing temperatures to raise money for our charity Quest4Change – fantastic! So […]
Okay that might be exaggerating things a little, but we did do our bit. On a beautiful sunny day in Brighton, 8,000 people got together to run 26.2 miles at the second annual Brighton Marathon, and Quest helped out by manning the water station at mile 6. An early start at 6am wasn’t enough to […]
