Meet the seven marathons on seven continents male winner
A Briton has won the men's race in an extreme running challenge which sees competitors from all over the world take part in seven marathons on seven continents over seven days.
Paul Holborn, 40, from Sunderland, won the men's section of the World Marathon Challenge by running 26.2 miles (42.2km) in Antarctica, South Africa, Australia, UAE, Spain, Brazil and USA all within a week.
Mr Holborn, who now lives in Texas, had never completed a marathon before signing up for the event 19 months ago, but felt "depressed" after giving up on his fitness.
He said the challenge "seemed so impossible" and that "just the thought of doing one marathon was always crazy".
12 March: This story has been corrected to make it clear Mr Holborn was not the first British winner of the challenge and also that he was the winner of the men's race, not the overall winner.
