Chris Petrie

Chris is a Director of his own business of Independent Financial Advisers. He lives in Northamptonshire (England) with his wife Liz and two daughters Olivia (11) and Lucy (9). Having enjoyed cross country running from schooldays, he has run three “normal” marathons - although none since 2006. His usual distance in recent years has been 10k races, so this challenge is a decent step up! Chris is very much looking forward to the exciting adventure and challenge of running a marathon at the North Pole and notes that his most northerly trip to date has been Scotland! The trip is being funded personally and he is raising money for two charities – National Autistic Society (his eldest daughter Olivia has Asperger’s) and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
