Whitehead sets course personal best in latest marathon

Congratulations to General Sports Worldwide’s Richard Whitehead MBE on completing the 109th marathon of his remarkable athletics career.

The 50-year-old, who runs with prosthetic legs as he has a double through knee congenital amputation, set a new course personal best in the New York Marathon at the weekend.

Richard, a double Paralympic gold medallist, completed the race in the Big Apple in a time of two hours, 46 minutes and 25 seconds.

His latest fantastic run came less than a month after he set a new world record in the Chicago Marathon – the second time he has set a world best on Chicago’s streets.

GSW is immensely proud of its longstanding relationship with Richard and we look forward to continuing to support him as he inspires others across the globe.
