Belgian woman runs marathon every day in 2024 in world record bid

Al Jazeera  

Finally coming to a halt on the last day of 2024, Belgian ultrarunner Hilde Dosogne felt she had done what she needed to take the world record as the first woman to run a marathon every single day of the year. Weary, but seemingly far from exhausted from the weight of relentless marathon running, Dosogne emerged from the cold, grey light to cross the line as a throng of fellow runners celebrated an extraordinary feat. Even there, she said, she would not take any statistical risks and instead of the 42.195km a day, she made sure her run stood at 42.5km – just for safe measure. And because she could not run at top speed every single day, she stuck to an easy 10km/h, which also allowed friends and witnesses to run along.
