Kirsty Devonport

Completed several marathons and holds a PB of 3:33 for the 26.2-mile distance. The 31-year-old solicitor was looking for something different than a road marathon to raise funds for her favourite charity, Leukaemia Research. On typing "cool marathons" into the google search engine, Kirsty' ssearch revealed the 'world's coolest marathon'. To help prepare for the race, she has taken Gloucester University up on an offer to use its temperature chamber in the weeks prior to the event. In addition to marathons, Kirsty has taken part in triathlons and the Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon ("Arguably Scotland's Toughest One Day Event"). See www.justgiving.com/kirstygoesnorth.
