Bayliss Will Be Peerless In The Enduroman Arch to Arc
On September 5th, Mark Bayliss will step into history. He will attempt the Enduroman Arch to Arc from London to Paris where he will start with an 87-mile run from Marble Arch in London to the shores of Dover. Then, unlike anyone in the history of the Enduroman, he will lube up with Channel grease and tackle the English Channel without a wetsuit. Upon reaching France, he will set off on the last stage with a 181-mile bike ride from Calais to Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
The Enduroman has only been completed by 7 men and 3 women, but they have all been clad in neoprene across the Channel. “I will be the first to complete the swim section (the channel) without wearing a wetsuit – as it should be done! Please sponsor me as not only this will give me huge motivation while doing the challenge [but also] Sports Aid is a great charity and it will be wonderful to raise as much as we can.”
