Edgley, a fitness writer and trainer, towed a Mini Countryman strapped to his back along Silverstone Race Circuit, the current home of the British Grand Prix, a Formula One race. The marathon took Edgley 19 hours and 36 minutes and began on Jan. 22.
As Edgley wrote in the Telegraph, “the World’s Strongest Marathon serves to offer a different perspective on the common belief that strength and stamina are distinctly separate, and can’t be improved simultaneously.”
Edgley did the 42.2K challenge to raise money for four charities including Teenage Cancer Trust, Children With Cancer, Sports Aid and United Through Sport.
