Runner Attempts World Record with 50 Marathons in 50 States
Goodge is dedicating the 24-day effort to his mother and raising money for Stand Up to Cancer.
- Ultra-Runner William Goodge is attempting to run a marathon distance in all 50 U.S. states within 24 days through Mission America, aiming to set a new Guinness World Record.
- After his mother died from cancer, Goodge channeled his grief into charitable work, stating, "I can turn this emotional pain I've got into something positive."
- To stay on schedule, Goodge must complete each marathon in five hours or less, a grueling pace he acknowledges: "I need to do all the marathons in five hours or less to stay on time, so it's high-pressure."
- His journey began in Honolulu on Oct. 9 and concludes in New York City on Nov. 1, with all funds supporting Stand Up to Cancer.
- Runners are invited to join Goodge in the Atlanta area on Saturday, with details available at MissionAmerica.org. He hopes his efforts inspire others to transform adversity into purpose.
