"I don't regard my marathon year as torture. It is more like a regular job. I am running just as Joe Average goes to work on Monday morning, whether or not he feels like it. I don't always feel like running, but when I am done, I take a shower, have some physiotherapy for an hour and that wraps up my day." Stefaan
Gent
The Watersportbaan in Ghent is now Stefaan's home base. That is where the postman will deliver his letters, where journalists can come and see him and where people can come and meet him. A marathon is just over eight laps around the Watersportbaan.
België
To avoid trampling the tracks around the Watersportbaan, Stefaan will regularly run elsewhere. He will participate in all official Belgian marathons and half marathons (running these twice). In the spring the MarathonMan team will start organizing several relay marathons at various sites, allowing people to run by themselves or as part of a team. In addition, businesses and towns can invite MarathonMan for their events.
Europa
Running means travelling, finding the border and crossing it. MarathonMan will also try to spread his message in a few European countries. During these trips he will attend about 10 major European marathon competitions (Rotterdam, Paris, Berlin,...). He will be moving to the city for a few days, where he will be running a number of marathons, one of which will be the competition itself.
Getting an entry in the Guinness Book of Records takes more than just running a few laps every day. Check out here what rules of the game MarathonMan must abide by.
