The Triple Marathon is part of the fundraising program of The Rainforest Foundation. Individuals or teams can sign up to run 3 international marathons in a year. Flight, hotel and race entry fees are covered by the charity in return for a minimum level of sponsorship. The 3 suggested marathons are Thai Temples, London and New York, but these may be amended if the runner(s) have a desire to enter a particular race. Also: Julian McGrath's triple marathon challenge. Julian McGrath, from County Antrim, Northern Ireland completed three marathons in only five weeks to raise funds for two cancer charities: Pancreatic Cancer UK & Friends of the Cancer Centre, Belfast. The three marathons, in 2011, were London, Belfast & Edinburgh.
