Competitor bio:

Nick, aged 51, started to set himself challenges when he turned 40. He has had the World Marathon Challenge on his radar since completing the Antarctic Ice marathon in 2015. Other challenges include climbing Kilimanjaro, running three London marathons, completing The North Pole Marathon back in 2009 and Marathon Des Sables in 2012. Nick admits to being a plodder when it comes to running so is expecting not to break any records unless of course it is a competition to see who can be out on the course the longest!! When asked what makes these events so special he always says it's the people, the wonderful camaraderie and the sharing of these life changing experiences.
