Mark Duncan

A 35-year-old who partakes in multiple sports and adventure activities. Mark completed the PE-EL Challenge in 2000, which is known as 'The Longest, Toughest, Surfski Race in the World (244km, South Africa). He mountain biked the 'World's Most Dangerous Road' in Bolivia in 2005; he became the youngest South African to run a marathon on all seven continents in 2006; and he finished the Coolangatta Gold in 2008, 'The Longest, Toughest, Surf Ironman Race in the World' (Gold Coast, Australia). Starting out as a lifeguard, helicopter rescue swimmer and firefighter led to a job as an offshore survival instructor, which in turn led to working in the Offshore Oil Industry across 4 continents for the last decade. Mark is now halfway to setting up a semi-retirement career as a helicopter pilot and is pursuing a personal "Global Challenge" which includes running a marathon on all 7 continents ("might as well chuck in the Grand Slam") and kayaking on all five of the World's Oceans, with only the Arctic Ocean remaining. To esnure balance, he is also diving, snowboarding and surfing some of the worlds premier destinations and aiming to hit the world's biggest parties/ party destinations - Ibiza is the missing one on this list.
