A SALTASH runner has finished his 100th marathon a full 25 years after he ran his first, becoming the first person from his club to reach the milestone.
Colin Bunting has been a member of the Tamar Trotters since the club was founded in 1996 and ran his first marathon in New York in 1997 with his wife Maggie.
He has now joined the prestigious 100 Marathon Club after completing the monstrous Cornish Marathon on Sunday, November 6.
Now 56, Colin said he might have run his last marathon after travelling to 17 different countries while completing the feat, which is a first for Trotters’ members.
“Never say never, but there’s nothing planned,” he said. “My target was to get to the 100.
“My first one was 1997, and then I did another one in 1998, and I didn’t start doing multiple ones until early 2000s so then for 20 years I started doing three or four marathons each year and then you get to 30-40 marathons and it went from there.”
Colin, who works for Babcock, has run marathons across Europe and in the United States during the last 25 years, with one of his most recent foreign trips being the Kyiv Marathon in 2019.
