July Marathon madness

As a regular runner known for getting out my comfort zone and being a bit looney, love a good hill, I welcome you to this years challenge: Marathon Madness. 

As much as I'd love to be going abroad crossing through other countries, scaling mountain ranges, fighting off stray dogs, etc etc, this year I'm grounded to keeping it local, 31 days of July, 31 marathons, totalling 812 miles.

Here's  the fun part - I don't get to decide my routes. For a donation to our running club's (Riviera Racers) chosen charities YOU get to decide a route for one of the 31 days for me to take on. This can be as challenging, mind boggling as you like, could involve 26.2 miles running  round a duck pond or continuous hill repeats to a marathon distance. YOU DECIDE, make it as quirky as you like. The only  rule, due to fitting around work, is that they must start and finish in either Paignton or Torquay. 

The challenge itself will commence on the 1st July 2026, taking on a marathon distance for each 31 days of July

It  would be amazing to have as much support as possible and  I welcome  anyone wanting to join me on any of them to keep me sane, 

After all Pain is just Bread in French
