Competitor bio:

Graham says he is a 58-year-old, grumpy old man who runs marathons so he can complain about the pain in his hip and back. He ran his first marathon in 2005 after retiring from the French Foreign Legion and said never again. His second marathon was in 2008 and he now has some 90 marathons under his belt. He says that without a doubt his marathons with Richard Donovan have been the most interesting: the North Pole Marathon, Volcano Marathon and Antarctica Ice Marathon, although he finds that marathons like the Cognac, Beaujolais, the Blaye Wine, the Alsace Wine and the Medoc marathons are becoming more suitable for him of late. Graham’s wife Brigitte likes to support him in these adventures depending on the destination. Next March Graham hopes to complete his 100th marathon at the 1st edition of the St Tropez marathon.
