Boy, 7, runs 26 miles in four weeks

Oliver says he is already thinking about his next challenge

A seven-year-old boy has run a total of 26 miles (42km) in four weeks.

Oliver, from Cornwall, has raised £1,700 for Pancreatic Cancer UK, in memory of his grandad who died from the disease four years ago.

Oliver was awarded a special trophy for his efforts by his mum Miranda who has been running with him in all weathers.

She said: "We've had colds, coughs and tears and lots of emotions and he's been determined to finish it."

The pair have completed the runs close to their Padstow home.

Oliver said: “[Sometimes] it was really hard and sometimes it was really easy, and sometimes I liked it and sometimes I didn’t.”

Miranda said: “It was amazing. He’s achieved so much and I’m so glad I got to run with him for every single mile and for such an amazing cause he’s raised such a lot of money. We hope the donations will keep coming in.”

Oliver is already thinking what is next challenge will be and hopes to eventually complete a half marathon.
