Ian Bentley, head of performance at Wigan Warriors, is tackling the Lake District Marathon on Saturday in aid of a charity very close to his heart. Bentley, who has been on the Warriors’ backroom staff for well over a decade, will attempt just his second marathon this weekend at the age of 40, with the aim of raising funds for Baby Beat, a charity that helps fund vital equipment, research and support services for premature and poorly babies at Royal Preston Hospital.
