He started in last September; he’s been running counter-clockwise around the coast of Britain. He is aiming to run 105 marathons in 105 days. On the completion of his goal, he will set new Guinness World Record; current record is of 52 marathons.
He is not being observed by the Guinness Book of World Records, but satellite tracking device is being used by O’Maonaigh-Lennon to record his mileage.
He stated that, “My aim from day one was to run every step of the way”, “There’s no walking. It’s definitely a question of mind over body.”
Neil O’Maonaigh-Lennon’s Goal is to raise money for Cancer research, both of his grandfathers died from the disease.
