Max Glover, 32, completed the charity challenge pulling a BMW car over the 26.2 mile distance
Max Glover, 32, completed the charity challenge at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire, in 21 hours 58 minutes. The former Royal Marines commando raised nearly £2,000 ($2410US) for the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity Transplant Appeal.
He said he was inspired to embark on the challenge after a friend had a double lung transplant. Max enlisted friends to steer the 1.7 ton BMW 5 series as he pulled it along the vehicle testing track in Lutterworth on August 3.
He said: "I thought I may as well use my passion for doing challenges to do some good and raise a bit of money. It started hurting quite a bit towards the end but I just put one foot in front of the other and it was no problem.
"It took longer than I'd hoped as the track was steeper than expected."
