Chris Leek is the current World Record Holder for the Enduroman Arch 2 Arc (Non-Wetsuit) Ultra distance triathlon, which is classed as the hardest of its kind in the world.
He is the 41st person to have ever completed this triathlon, and only the 5th person in the World to complete this incredible feat without the use of a wetsuit.
The ultimate endurance challenge, that consists of a 87 mile Run from Marble Arch in London to Dover in Kent, followed by a swim across the English Channel, finishing with an 181 mile Cycle from Calais to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Chris set out to prove that the ordinary man can achieve extraordinary things.
“We were thrilled to welcome Christopher Leek to open our new School Swimming Pool. During his visit Christopher led an inspiring assembly to over 600 children teaching them the importance of: setting targets, perseverance and self-belief. Everyone listened intently to Christopher who spoke with passion, charisma and the belief in achieving personal goals. The children and staff were so inspired that they instantly went back to class and set motivational targets for the year ahead. Christopher showed the children that anyone can achieve their dreams if they put the effort in and keep their targets in mind.”
