Accordionist to Run Marathon Playing the Accordion - England

Carmine De GrandisNorth Norfolk News have reported that 49 year old Carmine De Grandis (picture right) is planning to get in the Guinness book of records by doing the Mammoth Marathon playing an accordion all the way and raising money for Dementia UK.

"I grew up in the Abruzzo region in Italy," said the dad-of-three. "I started playing the accordion when I was a child - it was quite traditional in that area. I'm a seasoned runner, and a couple of years ago I had the idea of doing these things together".

The event will be held on May 17th from Sea Palling to Sheringham in Norfolk and will be the first full road race since the Norfolk Marathon ended in 1990.

North Norfolk District Council in partnership with the North Norfolk Beach Runners expect over 400 people will take part in the course which will take in some of the district's most iconic sights including Happisburgh Lighthouse, Walcott beach front and Cromer town centre.
