Overview

  • Hübner set off on May 26, 2025, aiming to run 495 marathons in as many days and cover over 21,000 km through all 2,059 German cities by October 2026.
  • Every route has been plotted manually with data from the Statistisches Bundesamt and Google Maps, guided by logistical support from friend Sven Dünnwald.
  • The team has established supply hubs and a laundry rotation, sending equipment and washing gear every 14 days while carrying 35 pairs of shoes.
  • Extremesportler Jonas Deichmann says the daily distances are physically feasible but warns that sustaining motivation for 495 consecutive days is the greater challenge.
  • Hübner has no backup plan, raising the stakes as she prepares to tackle potentially harsh winter conditions without a safety net.
