The stuff Strava doesn't tell you.
How do you run 50 marathons in 24 days?
How do you run 50 marathons in 24 days?
Goodge, known by some as the fastest man to run across Australia, crossed the country on foot in just over 35 days (2,361 miles). He has also run from Los Angeles to New York in 55 days (3,011 miles), and spent the last decade engineering a body and mind capable of what most consider biologically impossible.
He runs in memory of his mother, Amanda, who died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2018. Every project he takes on is a fundraiser. Every mile is a tribute.
Goodwin Generated Mission America is the first chapter of the Goodwin Endurance Series — an ultra-endurance platform built around athletes attempting things history hasn't seen yet.
The Goodwin Company backs people willing to push beyond what most consider possible. William Goodge was chosen to kick off the series because he doesn't talk about limits. He runs through them.
Mission America brings those two ideas together: an athlete built for extreme endurance and a company built to solve the operational challenges required to make an attempt of this scale possible.
The Founder of Goodwin and Will Goodge went on a run and talked about what challenge Will was looking to take on next. Will's dream was to set a world record by running 50 marathons in 50 states in the quickest time ever. Goodwin's Founder joked that he had access to "time machines" — airplanes — and a dream started to turn into a plan.
Every run will have an option for outside participants to join in this historic achievement by running the first 5K of the marathon with Will. Since he is running in every state, there is a good chance he will be running close to you, and this is the perfect time to be part of a world record and run with William Goodge.
Whether you want to sign up as an entire run club or as an individual, use the Run With Will signup to register your interest.
Goodge will be eating and sleeping on the go — in the RV and wherever the schedule allows. Team members are providing nutrition and hydration protocols for every run, along with a regimented rest and sleep schedule.
Goodwin Generated Mission America runs on precision. The Goodwin Company provides the aerial transport, support fleet, and operational intelligence that make 50 marathons in 24 days physically possible.
The same exacting standards Goodwin applies to flight are applied to human performance. The Goodwin Company coordinates the entire route, including private-aviation rotations, commercial airlines, and RV transfers.
Goodwin Generated Mission America is an attempt to establish or break an applicable world record. Any record claim remains subject to the relevant governing body's evidence review and official verification following completion of the attempt.
You don't train for one marathon 50 times. Goodge has spent years building the durability, aerobic capacity and resilience required to perform under extreme accumulated fatigue.
For Goodwin Generated Mission America, the goal isn't to peak for a single race. It's to prepare his body to run 26.2 miles, recover in transit, and be ready to do it again — and again — across 50 states in just 24 days.
The marathon ends. The clock doesn't.
Every hour between finish lines is part of the attempt: refueling, rehydrating, mobility and recovery work, sleep whenever the schedule allows, and getting Will to the next state.
The challenge isn't simply running 50 marathons. It's recovering fast enough to keep running them.

Every Mile Has a Reason
Will began running after losing his mother, Amanda, to cancer in 2018. What started as a way to honor her memory has grown into something much bigger.
