The 56-year-old fitness fanatic completed the first of his six 26.2 mile challenges in 1hr 54mins at DW Fitness on Longwood Road on Tuesday (April 6).

Ray, who works for Belfast Harbour Police, is aiming to complete the energy-sapping feat in a bid to raise funds for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.

In preparation for his gruelling challenge, Ray has completed 52 hours on the cross-trainer, covering 930 miles and burning off more than 30,000 calories.

Ray’s next marathon is scheduled for May 4 at the same venue.

Anyone who would like to make a contribution to Ray’s cross-trainer fundraiser can do so by sending donations directly to the Children’s Hospice at Horizon House.
