In this episode, we’re diving into tales from the cycle track, fables from the fells, and a few daft adventures along the way. Inspired by my Gobsmacked! Resurgam episode, this instalment celebrates Gary McKee, Cleator Moor’s very own “Marathon Man”, whose legendary feat of running 365 marathons in a year has left an indelible mark on West Cumbria and beyond.
Gary’s story is nothing short of remarkable. From grafting on the cycle track to completing the London Marathon—fuelled by 10 pints and a curry, no less—his journey is full of resilience, humour, and that uniquely Cumbrian grit. Even Jürgen Klopp has taken notice of Gary’s unstoppable spirit and his knack for inspiring others. For John and me, Gary is more than a local hero; he’s a true marra whose story has become a cherished part of our own lives.
This episode isn’t just about miles on the road—it’s about what it means to be Cumbrian: heart, determination, and always finding humour in the challenge. So grab a brew, settle in, and let’s crack on with the tales of a man who’s turned the fells, streets, and cycle tracks into his stage, inspiring everyone lucky enough to know him.
