I first met Dave in January 2014 at the Walt Disney Marathon Race Expo when he was one of the guest speakers. He was also there to run the Dopey Challenge (5K, 10K, Half and Full in consecutive days). We've kept in touch over the last 5 years and I consider him a friend. When I asked him to do this interview he was more than willing! If I were to sum up one of his great qualities is he is a giver as he is always doing for others.

The first marathon, in Novo, Antartica, was tough. The second and the third were the same. But by the fourth and fifth, Dave McGillivray’s fatigue was fading and his legs felt firmer beneath him. And in Miami, running his seventh marathon on seven continents in seven days, he felt so good the only thing stopping the 63-year-old from going for eight was that he’d run out of continents.
