Belgian Woman Completes Yearlong Marathon Streak in World Record Bid

Hilde Dosogne ran 366 consecutive marathons in 2024, covering over 15,000 kilometers and raising significant funds for breast cancer research.

Hilde Dosogne, a 55-year-old Belgian ultrarunner, finished her 366th consecutive marathon on December 31, 2024, in Ghent, Belgium.
If Guinness World Records approves her documentation, she will become the first woman to run a marathon every day for a full year, surpassing the current female record of 150 days.
Dosogne ran a total of 15,444 kilometers (9,596 miles) throughout the year and raised approximately $90,000 CAD for breast cancer research.
She overcame significant physical and mental challenges, including the flu, COVID-19, injuries, and extreme weather conditions, to achieve this feat.
Dosogne balanced her demanding running schedule with her job as a bio-engineer and plans to take a short break before tackling Greece’s 246-kilometer Spartathlon in September.
