A running shop manager will be pushing his body to the limit as he attempts the gruelling challenge of running seven marathons over seven consecutive days.
Ian Ford, store manager for the specialist running shop in Shrewsbury, Up & Running, will be taking on the task to raise money for Heart Research UK.
He certainly isn’t a novice when it comes to challenges – since first discovering a passion for running more than 10 years ago, and having taken part in over 200 Park Runs, Ian has gone on to complete The Ultimate Trails 55k event in the Lake District, the Silkin Way Ultra, twice completed the 50-mile Long Mynd Hike and more recently the Race to the Stones, July 2022, a 100k Ultra.
However, the seven-marathon fundraiser is set to be his biggest challenge to date, by far.
