In 2022, I attempted to break the record for running the South West Coast Path in the fastest time.
Falling short of what I’d set out to do, I vowed to return to finish what I’d started.
The South West Coastal Path is the most challenging National Trail in the country, stretching 630 miles with an elevation gain of 115,000 feet - the equivalent of four Mount Everests.
This November I’m tackling the UK’s ultimate trail again, but this time it’s not about breaking records, or running as a lone wolf. This time it’s with a pack - the Men of ManMen.
ManMen is a group of men exploring their human potential and deepening their connection to community. We strive to inspire each other on the quest to find purpose, and - as more conscious men - be positive male role models, and better partners, fathers, brothers and friends.
As part of that mission, we’re committed to raising awareness about men’s physical and mental health and so I’m really proud to be partnering with Movember.
Taking on the South West Coastal Path as part of the Movember movement will challenge us to step out of our comfort zones, explore our physical capabilities and build meaningful connections, supporting each other every step of the way.
There will be adversity, but we will meet that adversity together.
Our motto for the challenge is ‘No man left behind’: we will move at the pace of the pack, co-creating a transformative experience for one another.
Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. It’s time to stand up and speak out.
