A little about me….

I’m a doctor, runner, speaker and author. 2014 will be a busy year for me, working at the Commonwealth Games, The Ryder Cup and the likes, whilst taking on some pretty big challenges in Scotland and much further afield. I’ve raced in some of the world’s most spectacular locations, from the North Pole, the 

Jungle, the Himalayas and in 2011 completed a 2,659 mile run from far North Scotland to the Sahara 

desert. I have ran 7 ultra marathons in 7 continents on 7 consecutive days in November 2012.

 I’ve worked at the Olympics, for various professional sports teams and on tours and expeditions

 worldwide.

Dr Murray currently works with the European Tour Golf, the Sport Scotland Institute for Sport and the Scottish Rugby Union. Previous appointments include the Scottish Government’s Physical Activity 

Champion at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and with Heart of Midlothian FC. 

He holds a number of advisory roles and has published widely on Physical Activity for Health 

and Injuries and Illness in Sport. He was a finalist in the NHS Health awards 2012.

I worked for the Scottish Government as their Physical Activity Champion promoting exercise for

health. Becoming and staying physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health. 

30 minutes of walking (or any exercise) is better than any preventative medicine, and it’s safe. 

60 minutes physical activity a day is the single best present you can give a child. 

I needed a good kick up the backside from a mate to get active again after university, and

urge everyone to GET ACTIVE today, and spread the word.
