By running a marathon a day in 2024, she has a world record in her hands

Finally stopping on Tuesday – the last day of 2024 – Belgian runner Hilde Dosogne felt she had done everything she could to claim the world record as the first woman to run a marathon every day of the year. As well as being rewarded for her persistence in running at least 15,444 kilometers in a single year, the 55-year-old also raised around €60,000 in funds for breast cancer research.
