Ultra-endurance athlete and long-distance cyclist Mark Beaumont will share highlights from his world record-breaking adventures when he visits the Bailiwick next month to speak at the Institute of Directors’ (IoD) bi-annual dinner on 4 July.
During a decade-long career as an endurance cyclist and adventurer, Mark has smashed the circumnavigation cycling world record twice, with documentaries, events and books about his adventure making him a household name.
In 2017, his epic ride saw him circle the globe, starting and finishing in Paris and crossing 16 countries across four continents in 78 days and 14 hours, averaging 240 miles a day.
Tickets are now on sale for the IoD’s bi-annual gala evening. The dinner, which is sponsored by Brooks Macdonald, celebrates the achievements of directors receiving their IoD Company Direction Programme Certificate, Diploma in Company Direction and Chartered Director awards.
John Clacy, Chairman of the IoD, said: "Our guest speakers are always chosen for their inspiring achievements, and welcoming an athlete of Mark’s calibre to Guernsey will be a highlight of the IoD’s event calendar. We are looking forward to hearing about his phenomenal endurance achievements as we celebrate the success of our directors who have completed their qualifications."
The IoD’s bi-annual dinner takes place at the Duke of Richmond Hotel on Wednesday 4 July. For more information, click here.
