The Challenge
The challenge for Mark on this cause is to run from northern most to southern most part of Phuket Island, covering the entire beautiful west coast of Phuket (which would normally be teeming with tourists but is currently a deserted ghost town). The first 35 Km are covering with hilly coast road, passing tourist hotspots, Nai Harn, Patong and Kamala. From Bang tao onwards, Mark will find himself running on Phuket’s famous beaches, including passing the airport flight path where so many people go for spectacular photos under the landing planes.
During this challenge, Mark intends to use no single use plastic at ALL!!!
This is Mark’s longest run ever in his record. Currently his longest ever run is 46km, Phuket run will be 150% of that distance. Adding in the hills, sand, high temperatures and humidity, Mark is hoping to complete the run in under 9 hours, however his primary goals are to complete the challenge and raise as much money for the causes as he can.
