Iván Poza. alias “Rookie 2006” has been invited by three of the founders of Deporte y Desafio Marathon Team to join the challenge of a diverse group of sport amateurs and friends that every year try NOT ONLY, to break new barriers of personal endurance, training and time records in one selected Marathon, BUT ALSO and above all, to help raise money for the non-profit organization "Fundación Deporte y Desafio" whose dedication for handicapped children thru sport activities and adapted tutorials is really making a breakthrough on children’s lives.

I am a rookie runner with all consequences in this physically challenging sport, even though I have been a multi-sport person all my life (tennis, soccer, swimming, mountain biking,etc) and I do like competitive challenges. Believe it or not, only a few months ago I referred to running as the most boring sport on earth… After 3 months of initiation training, three 10km races (best time 41min55) and 2 half marathon experiences (1hr40min & 1hr33min)…I am ready and focused to overcome physical and time constrains in the months to come to get my 4 days/week training and reach April 9th Paris Marathon with additional 400km and a couple of half marathons on my legs in order to finish THE ADVENTURE honorably!!! Please help me with your donation by objectives for an extra mile bonus motivation …
