AN intrepid fundraiser is hoping to finish a gruelling three-week challenge this week when he completes his 22nd marathon in 22 days throughout May. Rowan Ardill, 33, set himself the target of running the distance every day from May 1, and will cover over 575 miles - more than the distance between Glasgow and Paris - by the time he reaches his finish line on Saturday, May 22. Rowan’s fundraising feat will raise money for The Running Charity, which uses sport and activity as a vehicle to help young homeless people, with the Ramsbottom runner setting his sights on a total figure of £22,000. Setting himself a new route every day, each with a slight twist, Rowan has so far completed the 26.2 mile marathon distance on canal towpaths, Lancashire’s hills, Bury Athletic Club’s running track, Ramsbottom’s Nuttall Park, the Kirklees Trail, Preston’s Guild Wheel and around Bolton’s famous three reservoirs.
