CHRISTINE HOBSON

Chris is a 69-year-old grandmother. She retired from being a headteacher and did her first marathon, London, two days later. Her retirement aim was to get fit enough to enjoy her older age. Health and fitness became her obsession! By 2019 she had become a fully-fledged member of the British 100 Marathon Club. She, and her husband, have also travelled the world as marathon tourists with a view to completing a marathon on all the continents. The Ice marathon will be her 117th marathon and seventh continent, thereby enabling her to join the Seven Continents Marathon Club. This has all been achieved between the ages of 60 to 70. She is currently looking for a new challenge for her 70th decade, who knows what that will be!
