Story

Thanks for visiting my page!

I've set myself the challenge of running 10 races in 2017 to raise funds for Maggie's Edinburgh and to celebrate 10 years of being smoke free this year. The races will include marathons, half marathons and ultramarathons so will be a real challenge for me. 

The race schedule as it stands is below...it'll be hard and it'll be challenging but nothing compared to what 1000's of people visiting Maggie's Edinburgh have to face each year. I'll write my finish times next to each race as I complete them. 

March - Alloa Half Marathon - 1hr 26m 24s 
April – John Muir Way 50k - 4hr 07m - 4th Place (New PB)
April - Kilomathon Scotland (13k) - 50m 53s - 14th Place (New PB)
April - Great Edinburgh Run (10 mile) 1hr 03m 53s - 50th Place (New PB)
May – Edinburgh Marathon - 3hrs 09m 31s (New PB) 
June – Corstorphine 5 Mile Road Race - 31m 06s
August – Devil o Highlands Footrace (43 miles) - 7hr 29m 51s (New PB)
August - Forth Road Bridge 10k
December - Santa Run!
December - TBC!

I am aiming to raise £2,400 for Maggie's Edinburgh because I see first hand the difference it makes to thousands of life's each year. If we manage to raise the fundraising target we'll be able to fund an entire day in the Centre, that's over 100 visits to the Centre that wouldn't have happened without your support. 

Thank you for your all donations, of any size. 

Mark
