I'm really shocked someone from the UK would do this.
Are these actual races or just marathon distance training jogs? If the latter it doesn’t count.

Looks like he's trying to run races when possible but he says some countries don't have marathons (Yemen, Syria, etc) so he's going to just try to safely enter the country and run 26.2 miles.
I didn't read the article, but I'm sure I would be highly motivated to not follow another media-attention seeking limey and has altruistic running pursuits (self-promoting stunt).
I'd be more likely to follow Jamin on his 2018 pursuit of the elusive sub 15:00, 100k, and last but not least a babe (the most elusive by far).
M.A.G.A.
What a colossal waste of time, energy, and money.
This chap seems to have done some actual Ultra Marathons, which is a change from the recent spate of Brits. It will be interesting to follow his journey.

No kidding. The requirement should be a race with at least 25 people.
Regardless of real race or not, there are many countries it would take some serious balls to enter and run 26 miles in. Maybe in some like Iraq or Afghanistan he will be able to convince one of the military bases to let him run there. Buy Syria, Saudi Arabia, or many sub-Saharan African countries? No way I'd try that stunt.
He will end up like the feminist who wanted to prove that Muslims are peaceful people by hitchhiking to the Middle East: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippa_Bacca
With all that running he's going to need some dick butter.

And calling yourself a running coach dies not make you one
Says he's run the Manchester Marathon but no record of it on power of 10?

I checked out the site, and he mentions that he ran the Paris Half Marathon last year.... so I checked the results and he ran a 2:05:22.
Now, there's nothing wrong with being a really slow professional runner (it appears he does this for a living, and has sponsors), but in looking a little further at his site, it appears this guy is running close to 100-mile weeks, sometimes more. I find it hard to imagine running for the amount of time per day that it would take to run mileage like that, if you were slow enough to not be able to break two hours for a HM at race pace.

Not if you're the one doing it. He's getting paid to travel the world, have fun adventures, and engage in the hobby that you and I try to cram into our work and life schedules.
If he can find suckers willing to pay to have him take a 1.5 year holiday, more power to him.
