Runner at his Peak in fundraising marathon

Matthew Hunt, who is from Misterton near Doncaster, has broken the British Heart Foundation record for the fastest time over Britain's three biggest mountains - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

He finishing the feat in four hours 49 minutes and 33 seconds, beating the charity's previous record by more than five minutes.

The 31-year-old roofing contractor raised more than 300 for the British Heart Foundation.

The sum included 100 he was given by his mini bus driver who agreed that if Matt managed to do the race in under four hours 50 minutes he could keep the 100 minibus deposit.

He said: "As well as the personal achievement, it's great to raise money for such a worthwhile charity.

"I'd like to think I've made a useful contribution over the years and I'm aiming to raise even more money next year".

Matt has lived in Misterton all his life and admits it's hard to get the intense training he needs.

He said: "There are no mountains or even hills round here for me to train on – it's as flat as a pancake!"

Instead, Matt travels to Derbyshire at 6am every Sunday to find suitable training sites.

He has also tried a "proper" fell race this year and came 23rd out of over 100 competitors.

Matt says he manages to fit in at least 40 miles of running a week.

Official timings for the event were provided by Smart POS Solutions Ltd of Barnsley.
