7 marathons in 7 continents

Posted: Feb 2, 2012 In: News With: 1 comment

Okay seven marathons in seven continents sounds pretty impressive but maybe not overly impressive. But if you were to add…..’in under 5 days’…..now that is impressive!

Ultra runner Richard Donovan from Galway, Ireland has just completed the first of the 7 marathons and aims to complete his last marathon in Sydney, Australia on the 6th Feb. Read more here courtesy of thejournal.ie.

MyNextRace wish him all the best in his quest – he is raising money for GOAL (who work to relieve suffering caused by drought and famine in the Horn of Africa).

David Hiddleston

I am a keen amateur runner having completed (barely in some cases!) eight marathon the first five of which happened to be the Big Five - London (2006), New York (2007), Boston (2008), Berlin (2008) and Chicago (2009). I have just recently completed the Boston 2011 marathon helped greatly by a gale force wind at my back!
