Spanish Runner sergio Goulart Shatters Distance Record, Raises Over €65,000 for Cancer Research
madrid, Spain – Spanish ultra-runner Sergio Goulart has completed an remarkable 50-day, 50-marathon, 50-province challenge across Spain, raising over €65,000 for the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). The feat, concluded today, substantially surpasses his previous record-breaking run along the Mediterranean coast.
Goulart’s “50-50-50” initiative saw him run a full marathon (42.2 kilometers/26.2 miles) in each of Spain’s 50 provinces over 50 consecutive days. This ambitious undertaking pushed the boundaries of endurance running and garnered widespread support throughout the country. The funds raised will directly benefit the AECC’s vital cancer research and patient support programs.
A Legacy of Endurance and Solidarity
This latest accomplishment builds upon goulart’s already extraordinary running resume. Last year, he completed a 1,500-kilometer journey along the Mediterranean coast, from Tarifa to Cap de Creus, in 23 days, raising over €58,000 for the same cause. The “50-50-50” challenge, though, represented a substantial increase in both distance and logistical complexity.Beyond the physical demands, the run was designed to foster connection and raise awareness. As highlighted by observers,the true impact of such challenges lies in their ability to unite people around a common purpose. In a fast-paced world, Goulart’s dedication demonstrates the power of consistency, commitment, and solidarity to create lasting change.
