Richard Donovan is the 42 year old Irish man who just succeeded in achieving the impossible.

The World Marathon Challenge is a logistical and physical challenge to become the first person to run seven marathons on seven continents in less than seven days.

On February 6th 2009 Richard crossed the finishing line having just completed his seventh marathon on the seven continents in less than seven days: 295km of running, 43,000km of flying, in five days, nine hours and eight minutes, to be exact. Donovan can be proud of the fact that he is now the first man to done so.
