James Golding

Survival of the fittest

Endurance cyclist. Father. Seven-day World Record holder. Husband. Motivational speaker. Two-time cancer survivor. Fundraiser. Wattbiker.

In the past decade, James Golding has overcome and achieved more than most would in a lifetime. His battle against cancer in 2008, where he was given less than a 5% chance of survival, was just the beginning. James has gone on to cycle many of the world’s toughest events, raising more than £3m for charities, but suffered countless setbacks along the way. But one thing has always remained: his drive and determination.

In 2017 James rode 2,842.2km in one week to break the 7-day Guiness World Record. His next challenge: being the first Brit to win Race Across America.
