James aka The Morning Coffee Run will be undertaking the ridiculous challenge of trying to run 20 marathons, in 20 days in aid of Mind, the mental health charity. The date and locations are still to confirmed and will be flexible due to Covid but looking at around June currently.

You can get involved too by running with me in our 20 locations or by running with us virtually via our virtual challenge we you'll be able to sign up for nearer the time. I will be running multiple loops at the towns we stop at to make up the full 26.2 miles so you don't have to run a marathon to join in on the fun! Due to Covid restrictions we may have to create a ticketed event system to ensure everyone is safe but more on that to come. 

I chose Mind Charity to fundraise for because all our lives have been affected by mental health issues either first hand or those we love. The past year has highlighted that more so than ever before. Running was a real saviour for my mental health and I know I wouldn't be the man I am today with out. When I decided to run this challenge there was no other charity we considered but Mind. Running is a huge part of boosting our mental health in so many runners I know and I hope during this challenge we can promote and highlight the benefits running can have in your life.
