Adventurer Jules Fox is making a comeback! 15 years ago Jules was an ultra-distance trail runner (before trail running was cool) and raced 100 km events in Antarctica, Nepal, New Zealand and back home in Australia. While training for her next challenge, running across the Simpson Desert, she was hit by a car while cycling and sustained significant leg, torso and shoulder injuries. It was a long and complex rehab. After being told she would never run again she turned her focus to ultra cycling and cycled across the Simpson Desert, completed gruelling 7 day cycling challenges and has 9 entries in the cycling Everesting hall of fame. Determined to overcome any limitation, Jules tried to return to running multiple times - all of which ended with fractures and frustration. After shifting focus to build strength, her recent attempts to run have been more successful - she has even managed to run her first marathon! The World Marathon Challenge - the ultimate adventure, will require Jules to draw on her mental courage and endurance. By sharing her story, Jules hopes to inspire others to be brave and challenge the status quo.

“I didn’t start running to win medals. I started running to survive the loss of my daughter.” In 2016, Sandeep lost his 10-month-old daughter, Zarouhi, to a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. He was the living donor in her transplant. She didn’t survive. He did - but barely. The grief of her passing was devastating. He went through series of emotions ranging from guilt to self-questioning and “I kept thinking, maybe if I had been healthier… maybe I shouldn’t have been the donor… maybe I killed her”. The donation impaired his own liver function, and the health continued to deteriorate. he slipped into depression – that took a further toll on mental well-being. Running began not as a sport, but as escape. A step out of despair. One painful run led to another… until it slowly gave his grief a shape. Running became therapy. Purpose. A way to keep breathing. Since then, Sandeep has run not just marathons, but ultramarathons—250 kilometres across deserts, snowfields, and high-altitude terrains. He earned the Six Star Medal and the Grand Slam Plus medal, by running 250 KM self-supported ultramarathons in 5 different deserts (Namibia, Antarctica, Jordan, Mongolia, and Chile) in a period of 12 months. In every race, he carries Zarouhi’s memory in his heart - and sometimes, her photo in his pocket. In 2022, he suffered a heart stroke. But instead of stopping, he recommitted. Because he’s not chasing finish lines - he’s chasing legacy. A legacy - not just as a father, a husband, a friend but more of someone who was transformed by his journey. He is now a mission to help others turn grief into a motivation to keep going “I run with my grief, not away from it. I run so others may find strength in their own sorrow. I run for those who never got the chance.” His journey reminds us: “The most powerful finish lines don’t mark the end. They mark a beginning.”

Bob Tremayne reside in Buckeye, AZ USA. My nickname is Nuclear Bob since I have worked in the nuclear power industry my entire adult life. Currently a director at the largest nuclear power plant in the U.S. Also retired Navy submarine officer (26 years). Recently completed the Great Norse Run a few weeks ago which is 209 mile run across the country of Iceland. Other completed events are various ultra marathon trail races varying from 100 miles to 50K over the past few years. The strangest run was a 12 hour run around a 500m-ish dirt track in 95-100 F degree heat called the hotfoot hamster. Four completions of the World's Toughest Mudder 24 hour obstacle course event (running for 24 hours around a 5 mile trail with 20 or so obstacles such as climbing, crawling, water, ice and electric shocks) Completed various Spartan Ultra and beast obstacle courses and Tough Mudder's 9 hour infinity obstacle course twice. I believe in performing Epic activities. Everyone has the ability to do Epic things if they believe it and make the decision. I am one of few in the nuclear power industry that is willing to pursue ultra marathon endurance events. I serve as a role model helping those that don't believe yet, that yes they can do more than they are currently performing. You have nothing to prove but everything to gain. I might even wear my pocket protector. You are not basic. You are epic. Nuclear Bob
Bobby White is running the World Marathon Challenge in memory of his brother, Anton Rogan White, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 15 due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Since Anton’s passing, Bobby’s family has raised around £75,000 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (GCHC), and Bobby hopes to help bring that total to £100,000 through this challenge. Bobby has completed five marathons, beginning with Loch Ness in 2012 and most recently finishing Edinburgh just two days ago—despite currently struggling to walk, let alone run. The World Marathon Challenge will be the most demanding test of his life, physically, mentally, and emotionally, but one he’s fully committed to.
