ACROSS AMERICA
3,011 miles. 55 days.
Will ran from Los Angeles to New York, learning what it takes to keep moving across a continent through fatigue, weather, pain and thousands of miles of road.
THE ATHLETE
William Goodge
William ran across America. He ran across Australia. Mission America brought everything he learned from those thousands of miles to a new challenge: completing a marathon-distance course in all 50 states in 22 days, 17 hours, 16 minutes and 34 seconds.
ACROSS AUSTRALIA
2,361 miles. Just over 35 days.
His run across Australia pushed that experience even further, requiring enormous daily mileage and the ability to recover quickly enough to keep doing it day after day.
FOR AMANDA
The reason behind the miles.
Will began running after losing his mom, Amanda, to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2018. What started as a way to process that loss became something much bigger. Every major project since has raised money and awareness for people affected by cancer.
Profile
Running was only one part of the mission.
During Mission America, William finished each marathon-distance run and immediately began preparing for the next.
He had to eat, recover, travel, sleep when he could, wake up somewhere else, and run another 26.2 miles. The team and systems around him were essential to making that work.
