The singer formerly known as King Charles runs the equivalent of 90 marathons in 90 days on the Pacific Crest Trail to raise awareness about mental health.
Charles Costa, the 36-year-old British folk-pop singer formerly known as King Charles, set out to cross the U.S. on the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico starting July 20. But it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that the ultra-runner hit his biggest wall in the form of a Mojave Desert heat wave. “It was over 100 Fahrenheit, and my body started operating much slower,” said Costa, who finished his 90 Marathons in 90 Days run Wednesday night in the border community of Campo, Calif.
After judges Jeff Beck, Tom Waits, Loretta Lynn and Jerry Lee Lewis chose his song “Love Lust” for the grand prize in the rock category, a record contract with Universal followed. Not bad for a middle-class kid from southwestern London who grew up playing cello in school and singing in a choir but who had no real plans to turn professional. Then Bob Dylan entered his life.
