Canadian man aims for Guinness world record for most marathons ran in a year
4 minute read Friday, Jan. 13, 2023It’s a gamble, but one that’s worthwhile to Ben Pobjoy.
The Mississauga, Ont., native has set out on a journey to break the Guinness world record for most marathons ran by a male in a year (239), held by American Larry Macon.
Pobjoy, who started on New Year's Day, plans to accomplish the feat running marathon-length distances across 90 countries, including Canada, while capturing content of all his discoveries along the way.
Having left his job as the executive creative director at advertising company Behaviour last August, Pobjoy felt it was time for a change.
