42km in 3hr 51mins
Hugh O’Brien gallantly put his name down for the daunting challenge of the 2012 New York marathon. After months of training, Hugh arrived in New York for the race only to see it cancelled at the last minute due to the devastation inflicted by Hurricane Sandy. As disappointing as this was for Hugh he still raised an impressive $3800 for SpinalCure and more for CatWalk, our counterparts in New Zealand. And he and many others went ahead and ran the 42km in Central Park instead!
