David Horsley

Completed an extreme marathon on each of the seven continents in the past six years, with the North Pole Marathon completing his ‘Grand Slam’. Dave is collaborating on the production of his first book, Extreme Running – a profile of 25 of the best foot races on the planet, which will be published later this year. He ran cross-country as a schoolboy, and for his college, before graduating to the marathon. The South Downs Way was his first introduction to the pleasure of ultra racing after which he has never looked back. He has a taste for adventure and has completed many of the classic ultras including Comrades, Marathon Des Sables and the Dead Sea Ultra.
