David Elliott is running the combined 185 miles to end up at Wembley Stadium in London to watch his beloved local football team, Huddersfield Town, play in the Championship Play-Off Final on Bank Holiday Monday. He aims to raise £5,000 for local charity the Huddersfield Town Foundation.

David said: “Although I’ve done marathons before, this challenge came up at the last minute after Huddersfield Town qualified last week, so it’s a bit short notice. I haven’t done any running since the London marathon last month, so, with limited training, it’s going to be a big challenge, but it’s for a good cause, so as tough as it is going to be, I definitely aim to finish it.”

David begins his challenge at 5am on Tuesday 23 May and will have the support of one of Wellhouse Leisure’s campervans with him, staying at campsites along the way.
