The Marathon challenge

I have set a two-part distance challenge for myself in 2024. I want to run to Marathon, Greece (virtually, in a straight line distance) and back. I arrived in Marathon, Greece slightly ahead of schedule on June 22nd. You can follow along with my challenge on the map below!

  • The goal distance is 5135.55km, the distance from where I usually start my runs to Marathon, Greece and back.
  • Now, 243 days into the challenge, I need to run 10.97km per day, or 76.82km per week, starting tomorrow.
  • At the end of today (August 31, 2025) I should have run 3419.01km to stay on pace.
