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, 261 days into the challenge, I need to run 9.32km per day, or 65.27km per week, starting tomorrow.
  • At the end of today (September 18, 2025) I should have run 3672.27km to stay on pace.
