Ben Smith

Ben completed 401 marathons in 401 days all over the UK, equating to 10,506 miles, which is the distance from London to Sydney. The challenge raised in excess of £300,000 for two anti-bullying charities, Ben and The 401 Challenge is one of the most inspirational and courageous stories in the UK.

The 401 Challenge gained national and global coverage, successfully driving an increased awareness of the issues of bullying and the harmful effects it can cause. 

It also led to Ben receiving the Helen Rollason Award at the 2016 Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony.

Ben’s experiences in life have led him to where he is today, the ups and downs, the days where he lacked confidence and direction in his life. He had to adapt, think about things differently, recondition his thought processes and open himself up to new, exciting, and scary things.

On 10th May 2022, Ben will set off on the next big challenge – to run a marathon in every state capitol in the USA and then travel to the next state capital by bicycle. The challenge consists of 12,690 miles of cycling, 1,310 running in 104 days! During this epic challenge he will burn somewhere in the region of a million calories!
