Covering 26.2 miles for 31 consecutive days in December!

Albert completes 31 Marathons while raising over 10k!

Albert Johnson completed an incredible challenge in memory of his friend Graham Brew by running the distance of a marathon every single day throughout December. Covering 26.2 miles for 31 consecutive days along the old railway line in his home village of Kirk Michael on the Isle of Man, Albert pushed through tough winter conditions and injury to finish strong, even running further on the final day. Inspired to honour Graham, who was autistic, Albert chose to raise funds for Autism Initiatives, helping to support autistic people and their families. Thanks to the support of friends, family and the wider community, his inspiring effort has raised over £10,000!
