Some Hungarian Guy Is Going To Run 50 Marathons In 50 Days

by Dylan Murphy | 1:17 pm, June 2nd, 2012

This is not a joke, as far as I can tell. Hungarian Norman Varga plans to run the length of 50 marathons over 50 days, eventually arriving in London for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. His journey will span from Budapest to London, passing through Austria, Belgium and France along the way.

“He will cover some 2,000 kilometers from Budapest to London to draw attention to the importance of supporting young people.

Varga runs a foundation in his native Budapest district of Csepel dedicated to helping youth develop a healthy lifestyle and support their goals in education, science and art.”

For you Americans, that’s 1,240 miles. A 25-year-old cage fighter, Varga is not new to pain and suffering. At 16, he nearly lost his arm when he was pushed under a tram.

Most people have trouble finishing one marathon, so we’ll see if Varga is up to the task. If he does succeed, I’ll be thoroughly impressed. If he doesn’t, I’ll still feel bad about myself in comparison.

can be as exciting as you want it to be. And the way to make it so much more fun is to understand about your date’s ethnic characteristics and culture. You should always remember to keep an open mind when dating interracially for a better relationship.

Ethan Strauss Can't get over how OKC wanted Harden off the bench in perpetuity. Hey, you're 23 and maybe the best SG. Bench forever? At a discount?
