The World Marathon Challenge is part of a bigger challenge that Durbin started two years ago. In 2013, he started logging his miles for walking, running, cross country skiing and swimming in order to complete the distance around the equator – 24,901 miles before 2022.
“I am just trying to prove to myself that an average person can do what most others think is impossible,” he said. “It’s a mental challenge as much as it is physical.”
