He is also a mountain climber, having summitted Mount Everest and conducted studies of the effects of high altitude on human physiology. Corfield is also an ultrarunner. In 2007, he was third in the Leadville Trail 100, one of the hardest runs in the United States, achieving a time of 19 hours and 42 minutes in his first ever 100-mile run. In 2009, St John's College, Cambridge opened Corfield Court, named in recognition of the significant donations Corfield had made to the College over the years. A species of lizard, Luperosaurus corfieldi, is named in honour of Corfield. (en)
