Lewis Hartman

Lewis Hartman is a Major in the British Army (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers), who started running "for fun" in 1997 in preparation for the 1998 London Marathon. He has since run a number of half marathons, the 2011 US Marine Corps Marathon (Washington DC) and the Salisbury to Winchester "Clarendon" Marathon. Lewis has completed 10 winter Tough Guy races, which gives him some insight to running in the cold. He is running the Ice marathon for 3 main reasons: firstly to visit his 7th and final continent, secondly to prove - as he reaches his 40th birthday - that age should not stop you from achieving anything you put your mind to, and thirdly to raise funds for 3 charities: the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research & the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF). Lewis is hoping to build on his 3rd continental marathon and eventually join The 7 Continents Marathon Club, via interesting marathons only!
