Competitor bio:

Mark is a late-in-life father of three just returning to more serious sporting action after five years of very happy distractions. He had an active sporting life with sports such as rugby, rowing, cycling and running before learning how to swim properly and, hence, triathlon became an option as did Ironman. In 2015 he completed the Marathon Des Sables with his great friend and ‘Mr Motivator’ Graham Fowke, who joins him in the World Marathon Challenge. He looks forward to meeting new people with a common goal and seeing if getting old(er) gets in the way of getting it done!
