Spencer, a passionate runner, is about to embark on the challenge of a lifetime starting at the end of July 2024. He'll be "clocking the k's" by running 30 marathons in 30 days across the searing desert during the peak of summer.
With temperatures soaring over 40 degrees and the sun relentlessly blazing down, Spencer will be tackling the equivalent of 5 Marathons des Sables, renowned as the toughest footrace on the planet.
He'll cover an astonishing 786 miles, comparable to running the entire length of the UK, but through the unforgiving desert terrain.
Not only is Spencer aiming to set a world record, but he's also raising funds for the incredible charity Global's Make Some Noise. Get ready to hear about his inspiring journey that is about to push the limits of endurance and determination!
If you'd like to donate you can go to www.makesomenoise.com/spencer-matthews-challenge/

Global's Make Some Noise Statement:
This is an official Guinness World Record attempt for âthe most consecutive marathons run on sandâ, which makes it even more difficult. There are a number of rules that need to be followed for Spencer to be successful, including:
The whole attempt must be made on sand - either on a beach or sand desert zone
Spencer may choose to run barefoot or with shoes and may alternate throughout the attempt
The entire course must consist of only sand. For instance, a layer of sand over a field of grass would not qualify
All marathon runs must be finished within 6 hours to be eligible.

Taking place at 'Frozen Head State Park' in Tennessee, USA, the incredible 100-mile race involves five loops of 20 miles, with 60,000 ft of ascents and descents - which is double the height of Mount Everest from sea level.
