48 Marathons on 6 Continents in 2013

By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo

I did 48 marathons on 6 continents in 2013.

After completing my first marathon in 2010, six marathons in 2011 and 12 marathons in 2012, my goal was to run 42 marathons in 2013, i.e. one for each kilometer of the distance of the marathon (42 km).

I explain in my book Running Barefoot for Human Survival, why and how I ended up completing in one year 48 marathons on six continents: Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. My race calendar for 2014 started on the seventh continent—Antarctica.

Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
