John Cassidy lives in Perth, Scotland. On April 2, 2016 he finished the Glasgow – Edinburgh ultramarathon as his first 55 mile race. Congratulations John!

Fun fact: John raised money for a couple of charities for this race, and he implemented an interesting twist. For donors of a certain amount or more, the donor could choose any song and John would listen to that song during the race. This meant John had a huge variety of music, some of which he would not have chosen for himself!
