STORY
A Danish lady Annette Fredskov from the old royal city of Næstved broke a world record running 366 marathons in 365 days – in her fight against sclerosis. It is the first time in the world a person has run a marathon each day a year in a row.
She has run 15,443 km or the equivalent to twice the entire Danish coastline. She has worn out 20 pairs of shoes in a total time corresponding to 76 days.
Annette has had support from husband, children, parents and friends. On the daily marathons the has been accompanied by at least two other runners. Eventually she got plenty of support from running friends and people from around the world who have signed up out of sheer enthusiasm for her project.
Annette’s race was also a fight against multiple sclerosis. When she was told that she should probably not expect to ever run a marathon, she thought “it must be a f…. lie” – and ran her first marathon. Slowly the idea to run 366 marathons in one year arose.
Annette Fred Forest’s mission has made her free from sclerosis.
Marathon no. 365 and 366 was run Sunday with start and goal at Annettes home in Næstved.
