Man, 62, plans to finish his 250th marathon on Monday

For the majority of people, running a marathon is a daunting prospect, but for Cork resident Michael Haydon, aged 62, one marathon just isn’t enough.

He plans to finish his 250th marathon this bank holiday weekend — that’s more than 10,500km.

“I hope to be coming over Patrick’s Bridge and into Patrick St to the sound of the cheering crowds,” he said.
