On 17 December 2013 Trent Morrow completed a huge milestone with his 150th official marathon in 2013.
“This is the challenge of a lifetime right now as the World First mission continues! I feel humble and blessed to have made many friends for life on this incredible adventure. It would be very much appreciated if you could please help to keep the dream alive over the days ahead by sharing the story with friends/media and consider contributing frequent flyer points/miles, financial assistance and picking up Team Marathon Man T-Shirts.” Trent Morrow.
The logistics of this challenge have been as difficult as the challenge of completing the marathons themselves. Trent has had to sleep in cars or planes on many occasions as he travels from city to city, state to state, and even country to country to make the start line of the next marathon. Some statistics include:
- Total distance travelled by air of 223,559km / 138,913 miles.
- Total distance travelled by road of 26,568km / 16,506 miles.
- Total distance travelled by train of 3,057km / 1,899 miles.
- Total distance run of 6,330km / 3,930 miles.
- Total distance travelled of 259,514km / 161,248 miles equates to over 6 times the earth’s circumference!
Over the course of 2013, Trent has completed marathons in 11 countries (Australia, Canada, Chile, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, Sweden & USA) as well as 35 US States & Districts (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connicticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington & Wisconsin).
