On 26th October 2023 Mr Clark took on the 2 day challenge to run a marathon and then a half marathon on the following day as part of the Polar Bear Challenge in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.
He chose the challenge to inspire the students and to show them that at any age you can push your physical and mental boundaries.

He ran with spikes on his shoes due to the ice and there were sections where runners had to pull themselves up with ropes – it was very surreal. Greenland is a very isolated location, literally in the middle of nowhere and, although beautiful, Mr Clark said temperatures were hitting between -15 and -20 degrees.

The Bury Free Press were keen to interview Mr Clark; you can read the full article here. As well as the local press, BBC Radio Suffolk,Norfolk and Cambridge were thrilled to share his story, click here to listen to his interview!

Finborough are immensely proud of our Headteacher; it was an epic feat!
