One of our sponsored athletes (Jack Sinclair) did the 42.2 km Brisbane Marathon yesterday and had the pleasure of meeting one of the better known marathon runners in Australia – yes, it’s Marathon Man!

Jack & Marathon Man Pose It Up Post Race
Marathon Man has run a staggering 40+ marathons in the last 40 months – including the 256km Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert in 2008 and the 90km Comrades Marathon in South Africa in 2010.
Next up for Marathon Man is the 2011 Sahara Race – 250kms in 7 days – it’s one of the leading 4 Deserts racingtheplanet ultra-marathon adventure series.
Marathon Man runs for 2 reasons:
- to raise money for Facing Africa
- to encourage other people to run a marathon (Marathon Man says 99% of people could easily run a marathon)
A Great Guy Running To Help Others
We see it a lot in our line of work – athletes pushing their body to the extreme to raise funds for others.

Even Marathon Man needs to keep hydrated!
Loving your work Marathon Man.
