Jonathan Bellarby

Completed several marathons and ultras, mostly in his home base of Scotland. Jonathan was inspired to run the North Pole marathon after hearing of fellow Scotsman Andrew Murray's experiences at the North Pole Marathon and Antarctic Ice Marathon in 2012. Although he has noticed he performs better in wilder weather, commonplace in Scotland, he is nevertheless wondering how he will cope in the Arctic extremes. He is running the race to have an utterly unique experience while also raising funds for a Multiple Sclerosis charity - the North Pole challange is finite but suffering from MS is much more difficult and lasts a lifetime.
