I Ran 365 Marathons In 365 Days

- Would you run a marathon? Maybe you’ve run a few? What about running a marathon every single day?
If that sounds completely crazy, well - we would agree. But Gary McKee did just that - every day of 2022.
Gary ran a marathon each day for an entire year, but his steps were driven by more than just personal drive. Every mile was to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. As days turned into weeks, his ambition transformed into a town-wide movement. With New Year's Eve as the grand finale, the community came together like never before with hundreds of supporters rallying to celebrate with him at the finish line. The result? A united community, countless inspired morning runners, and a staggering £1 million raised.
Witness a story which proves that with determination and the right support, anything is possible...

Incredible right?! Gary ran every single day for a year and dedicated each run to his dad.👏Tell us about someone who inspires you and motivates you.❤👇
It's really inspiring how I manage to walk a mile a week
My parents inspire me because with out them I probably wouldn’t be getting As and Bs in high school
Thats nothing. Ricardo Abad ran 607 marathons in 607 days in a row while working 8 hours a day in a factory.
That ain't shit I did way more then that for two years
I did it for 4years I got proof too when ever you need proof
26 miles a day for A YEAR? That is insane dedication. :O
Don't forget the .2. It adds up.
Plus holding down a full-time job.
Serotonin is one hell of a drug
I know people who barely move 26 miles a year
365 marathons in 365 days is insane but doing it while holding a full time job he's a legend
Rest in peace to Bill Arnott, I am so glad GBS could get the view of such an amazing event from such an amazing man.
🙌❤
Reminds me of how i keep running from my responsibility
Epic comment. I tip my hat to you, whoever you are.
Stop watching, do your homework
In the grand universal scale of things, what is even a responsibility when entire stars are being destroyed and born as we speak.
@@p5rsona optimism really pisses me off but you sir are really good at it 🤓
An international problem
Incredible. I consider myself an intermediate runner doing 15km daily, but after 20 days or so doing it I just need that day off. Respect my man.
15km daily is still nuts man... you're not an intermediate!
lol you must be joking you are running more than david goggins
I have no idea who that is but I can assure you I'm not joking. Plus that is nothing in comparison to marathoners.@@GeznoenMawfacker
@@Thuursdayy.Well for marathon running, 15km a day is on the low end for volume. Most marathoners average 20 miles a day with 40 mile long runs. But for 5km/10km training, 15km a day is quite sufficient.
I ran a Half Marathon and couldn't walk for two days after. This guy ran double that every single freakin' day. And absolute legend.
Plus work, meaning he would finish his circuit optimally and still arrive to work on time.
me too!!!
Back when I was running regularly I would run on average about 100-120km a week
Running 42 kms every day for a whole year while working and looking after a family is incredible beyond words
Outstanding effort
You've inspired me to get off my backside and start running again
.
Welldone on your resilience and dedication to your cause
My wife had stage 4 cancer and has been in remission for 9 years
We still have her because of fund raisers like you providing money for research and cancer hospitals all over the world
Absolute mad lad. This is a person who I strive to be. Doing marathon is one thing, but doing it for a year? While raising a million for a good cause AND still going to work? Words cannot describe how insane that was
A true inspiration for us all 🙌❤
And taking care of his family!
@@en2p187 exactly. What a wonderful human being he is
2:48 "Sometimes I don't really know the best way to help myself. But I always know that trying to help others, is the best way to start."
Wow, what a great quote.
Rip to Bill Arnott, the first time I ever saw him and turns out the last time as well.
I raise a cup of tea in your name 🗿☕

That line hit hard for me

GREAT BIG STORY RETURNS LETS GOOOOOOO
Let's goooo! 🚀❤
This video is so wholesome. This guy is great. What an amazing fella
I remember this story! It was so huge in the UK, thanks for bring his accomplishments and positivity to a larger audience
So happy to see you guys back telling great big stories.
What an absolutely amazing story. And such a special occasion for him and the entire town. They must have been so excited
Incredible man and story, so well told. Thank you for inspiring us all!
Wow, what an inspirational video! Thank you Great Big Story for sharing McKee's journey!
Thank you GBS for covering this incredible man who went out and made a difference in his community!
Maan i missed this channel, glad you guys are back. Congratulations on the superb narrative and audiovisual
I used to watch great big story before going to school now i hav graduated and glad that u guyz are back ❤
talk about dedication, what a madlad! motivational & inspiring stuff
Beautiful footage GBS!
God such an amazing story and rip to Bill and his incredible voice :(
Absolutely breathtaking feat, I can't imagine how fatigued he must have been on some days. Great job on everyone involved for this video I loved it !
Congratulation for him, and support from the whole city. Thats just awesome. Damn run 42k every single day in a year. This man on another level
Such an incredible story...great story telling by Great Big Story!
Followed Gary's marathons on Strava in real time last year and it was absolutely baffling to see the count on strava everyday. A champion 🏆
How did his body manage to recover each night
I think when you are truly in shape for the task, there is not that much repair to be done, but rather refilling energy. So I think he did it by training beforehand and then by sleeping and eating well, I guess. And having insane dedication.
This man is a hero. I loved that he did it quietly…
what do you mean he did it quietly?
@@rottebananenknijpen3024 I mean that he didn't go out and tell the world via social media about it to draw attention to himself.
Absolutely amazing! Can't imagine the struggle, even trying to complete my daily 10miles feels difficult in some days. Iron mind he got
Thank you for your inspiration!!!!
Everybody in one town in West Cumbria keeps track about the runner and his "running mates" who are on the track of him. They applaud them for going the long distance every single day regardless of the weather throughout the year. Their physical hobby is running for good. And it even runs better if committed for charity. What a record! HALLELUJAH!🏃🏻
What a guy! Respect mate, well done!
Gary is an absolute legend! His selfless heart and indomitable spirit are inspiring to say the least👏🏽 May Mr Bill Arnott rest in peace🙏🏽✨ What a beautiful community! God Bless🙌🏽
that’s some profound words at the end. Thanks for this.
This is the kind of influencer we need ❤❤❤
This shows what dedication towards self makes you do in life and humans as great and perseverance. He has shown how we make our own limits.
Nice to see some of my images on the video!!!
"Sometimes i don't really know the best way to help myself, but i always know that trying to help others is the best way to start."
Now that is pure wisdom. Bless you, sir.
Legend of a bloke!!!
This is just incredible!
Hello! This is incredible we were just talking about this at work the other day. Thank you for the effort you put into your videos and awesome job Mr. McKee. I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a video on the images they produce for when children go missing at a young age and what they would look like if you saw them today? I was grabbing my paper the other day and say this and got to wondering more about the process for determining the way they would look and if you gave them a picture of yourself young how accurate it would be to how you look today. It also made me wonder how often these pictures are successful and families reunited or how many children are in the database still yet to be found. Also, how are these systems set up across the globe? Thank you for listening to my idea. Wishing the best for everyone!
Wow!! That’s truly amazing, especially in a Country where it is cold and wet most of the year👏👏
Absolutely incredible
What a legend!!
Rest in Peace, Bill Arnott
Gary had an incredible journey and all of us who were a small part of it feel incredibly proud of the opportunity!
Insane dedication WOW. I could never bro like dam.
Gary McKee saddened when his cameraman died. He will continue to run before a different cameraman. McKEEP GOIN'! DON'T STOP!
This is so inspiring
Legend
I am speechless.😮 This is so incredible. All things are possible. 😇
"Sometimes I don't really know the best way to help myself, but I always know that trying to help others is the best way to start", didn't think I'd get one of the best quotes ever from a guy who isn't even the video subject in a Great Big Story video.
A local legend. Go on Gary!
Respect!
This man is a legend!
He's a mad lad in every single good sense!
Question: how did his body handle all those marathons? Like, did it take time for his feet to get used to his routine, for example.
He's done a lot in the past, he did lots of marathons a couple of years before this. Besides which he's from Cleator Moor, they're a tough lot.
An amazing achievement by an amazing man.
subtitle at 1:52, while the map shows Rome to Sydney, the subtitle shows New York...need a team of proofreader or QC, i think..still, incredible story!
GBS Nice 🏃🏻♂️
fire vid
He is the guy, Forrest Gump!! Keep runing mate!
Amazing
This was beautiful
RIP Bill, great job Gary!
Big respect
This is really inspiring...just wonder how his body copes with this.
Real life Forrest Gump. Kudos!
I hope he makes progress on his base building soon.
this is beautiful.
This is a incredible real world story. Thank you for making this video.
Gary is a legend on Strava
that's awesome
legend
what is his shoe brands/types? which one is most fav/useful/rugged resilient strongest/best? type and brand, be specific elpplsty
Run Gary Run!
WHEN DID THEY START POSTING VIDEOS??
Legend has it that he still running to this day…
Definitely carrying the boats!!! #Goggins
My knees hurt thinking about this
i saw your strava..thats insane
He has a such powerfull of his endurance🫀
Inspiring!
I remember how motivated to run I suddenly became when I was walking home and a fucking pitbull started chasing me
You guys should interview Russ Cook. He's doing about 50-60km each day and he's running across Africa.
That's nuts - hope he'll be able-bodied for long into his life.
Seriously worried about his knees running that much.
how is it possible ?? no rest days , no recovery...
A TRUE Gump!
The real forrest gump 👏
Very impressive. There's another guy from Belgium who has done the same. I first thought it was him.
The only other one I found wasn't working full-time as well.
How many hours did he run to complete each marathon? This is amazing!!
Seeing his Strava it took him about 4 and a half hours every time
Now I regret for not running my 10km today. Well done sir!
This guy is definitely the real-life MVP version of Forest Gump
Wait you guys return??
good thing he drank a marathon equivalent of beers in miles and not kilometers or we might not have had him around anymore
Finally someone crazier than David Goggins
Hokas really the goat
A single injury would have ended his streak. Amazing! I wonder what was his running background prior to this challenge?
Not necessarily. Candice Burt just set the world record for most consecutive ultramarathons - 50K+ every day for 200 days. She had many injuries come up but dealt with them as they came (she has a background in massage therapy). James Lawrence first did 50 ironmans in 50 days, and then a few years later did 100 ironmans in 100 days. His book reveals that not only was he injured for almost the entirety of his 50/50/50, but leading up to the event, his coach had him train in an injured state to get his body used to it, because they knew it would be inevitable.
@@SeanStephensen "injury" is a broad term... obviously there are some injuries you can't run through and some that you can (or some can)
@@JDefoe1882 exactly. Which is why "a single injury would have ended is streak" is an absurd statement.
