Steve Edwards: The
man of 500 marathons
For the past 25 years, Steve Edwards
has run an official marathon race on
average every 16 days. His aim is to
become the first person in the world to
complete 500 marathons, all under a
time of 3hr 30m.
“On Sunday 11th November 2012 you
are cordially invited to attend the Fox&40 Marathon in Milton
Keynes to not only help me celebrate my 50th birthday but
also what I hope will be the successful finale of a life changing
24 year journey to run 500 Sub 3hr 30min Marathons.
Special guests include Helen Summer, famous author of the
recent best-selling book 'Running Crazy' and many of the
current world record breaking 100 Marathon Club & Brathay
10 in10 athletes who feature in the book.
Marathon race start time is 9am and all being well, I hope to
cross the finish line between 12-12:30pm. To get there, head
for the Premier Inn, Lakeside Grove, Bletcham Way,
Caldecotte, Milton Keynes, MK7 8HP. (Look for the Windmill !)
Hoping for a day to remember - see you there.” Steve .
