Paul Holborn

Paul Holborn grew up immersed in sports like football, tennis, and boxing, developing a deep-rooted passion for fitness from an early age. That passion led him to a professional boxing career, which he pursued until the age of 27. After nearly a decade away from competitive sport, Paul found himself missing the purpose and intensity that athletics once provided. That drive led him back—with a bold new goal: the World Marathon Challenge. Over 18 transformative months, he completed two marathons and five trail races in preparation, rediscovering not just his physical endurance, but also the joy and clarity that come with pushing limits. Paul completed and won the 2025 World Marathon Challenge, running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. Now, he’s excited to take on the North Pole Marathon and connect with fellow athletes.
