Has anyone heard much about the following? Ryan Hall is apparently attached. How does one train to be able to handle 7 marathons in 7 days??
Just popped up in my email. I hope its not a $50K scam.
The Great World Race - 7 Marathons in 7 Days on 7 Continents

it's for people with too much money and the inability to run fast. So, just start a contest where you fly to each continent and jog/walk 26 miles. Who can afford to or who would really want to do that?
How many people will starve to death while these selfish clowns waste millions.

It is a scam. Basically two marathons in the same city. Just on two continents, how clever.
And most of them are probably not real Marathon races. Just some made up distance in that place.31 -

Ask Jordan Tropf. Most of those "7 in 7 days" people will jog each day. This guy did three hard races in three days.

They may be making the race easier these days, but in no way do the top few racers trying to win "jog" these marathons. I'm pretty sure Michael Wardian averaged 2:34 for the seven marathons, and that included an arctic marathon and a hot one (can't remember the city).

Looks like a more expensive variation of this, but this one uses two different cities in Asia and Europe00
