Justin's epic run to Leeds

Justin Mullis, from Warwickshire, will be spending 4 days running to Leeds before taking on the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on the fifth day. 

Here more about his epic challenge below. 

"I entered the Leeds marathon as soon as it was advertised as I have a running buddy who lives near Leeds so it was perfect we both run it together. I then got to thinking about fundraising for MND, particularly after watching the Rob Burrow documentary, which quite frankly, was inspirational.

Leeds is 106 miles from my home in Nuneaton in Warwickshire, so decided I would spend 4 days running to Leeds, 26 miles into Loughborough, another 26 miles into Ripley then another 26 miles to Sheffield, and finally 32 miles into Leeds. Then on the Sunday, run the marathon. Well, it saves petrol I suppose!

A couple of years ago I spent 4 days running to Skegness so I have taken on something like this before, but this time I get a proper race bib on my vest for the final stretch." 

Good luck Justin! We look forward to seeing you on the start line on Sunday 14th May.
