Challenge66
On the 16 March 2011 Andy McMenemy will commence his toughest challenge yet, to run 66 Ultra Marathons in 66 consecutive days from each of the 66 official UK cities.
An Ultra Marathon is a massive 30.7 miles or 50k and Andy will run 6 in Scotland, 5 in Ireland, 5 in Wales and 50 in England. By undertaking this feat of epic proportions Andy will challenge the official Guinness World Record which currently rests at 52.
The Challenge66 team is dedicated to raising fund and awareness of The Soldiers’ Charity that is celebrating a successful 66 years of delivering outstanding support to soldiers, former soldiers and their families.
Challenge66 will be coming to a city near you so dig deep and make a difference as every little helps.
Andy isn’t the only one with a challenge on his hands!
