Today, the Danish Marathon sub-culture was shocked by the news that our friend and fellow runner René Fasting passed away, much too young at age 45. We all came to know and treasure René the past couple of years, and I think he has left a distinct and lasting mark in our soules.

René will be missed in our small community of marathon running, but first and foremost by his kids and family whom we all send our condolences and deepest sympathy. We all might find hope in the belief that we will meet René again in some other Dimension, in Heaven, in a non-Earthly race some day. Who knows ?

Rest in Peace.
