2006 - August
Not sure if this is common knowledge but I read about this fellow Sam Thompson, a native of Mississippi, who recently completed 51 marathons in 50 days. His aim was to raise awareness of suffering in his home state folowing the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina.

He ran a marathon in each of 50 states on consecutive days, finishing with two on the same day. Remarkably he got quicker (and fitter) with each run, suffered no injury and lived on a diet of sandwiches, pasta and ice-cream. His best time was 3:29, in New Orleans two days before he finished.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
