British ultra-marathoner, William Goodge, has announced his latest endurance feat: running 50 marathons, across all 50 US states, in 24 days. Titled Mission America, in partnership with Goodwin, Goodge will run a full marathon length of 26.2 miles within each of the state lines. Should he succeed, Goodge will hold the Guinness World Record title for this effort.<\/p>\n
Goodge will run in honor of his mother, Amanda \u201cMandy\u201d Goodge, who passed away from cancer. Her passing inspired Goodge to embrace his mantra of \u201cPain with Purpose\u201d which he brings to all his physical efforts. \u201cPain with Purpose\u201d allows Goodge to view extreme pain not as a stop sign, but as a space to find clarity. Along the way, Goodge will raise money for cancer research through a GoFundMe fundraising challenge benefitting Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).<\/p>\n
Starting in Honolulu, Hawai\u02bbi on Friday, Oct. 9 and finishing at the iconic New York City Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 1, Goodge will push his physical and mental limits in a demonstration of technique, planning, precision, and adaptation that is difficult to comprehend for those who have never run a marathon, let alone link 50 of them in less than a one month timespan. Along the way, Goodge will run through handpicked cities, ranging from iconic US landmarks to State Capitals to college towns to rural areas. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a true honor to raise vital funds, share miles and hopefully inspire many. Thank you to Goodwin for the support and helping to make this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Goodge\u2019s partner for this effort is Goodwin. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for their world class back-end systems and incredible expertise, making this happen in 24 days would have been an insurmountable task,\u201d he said. Founded in 2022, Goodwin Company is revolutionizing the charter industry with innovative technology that streamlines charter operations. Goodwin acts solely in a B2B capacity, supporting brokers and operators in digitizing and elevating their workflows, ensuring charter aviation professionals can focus on building meaningful client relationships and scaling their businesses.<\/p>\n \u201cPartnering with William Goodge was no-brainer, as we see a lot of similarities in work ethic trying to beat world records and that of people growing their footprint,\u201d according to Team Goodwin. \u201cWilliam Goodge dares to think big and put it all on the line and that\u2019s exactly what we at Goodwin do when it comes to building technology. Goodwin enables the brokers in charter aviation to go fast, to go further, to accomplish things above and beyond the norm. It isn\u2019t just AI and technology that makes Goodwin special. It\u2019s the speed at which it brings software to an industry full of great people looking for ways to go quicker. Enabling the success of this world record attempt, to go the distance in record time, it requires a team on the backend to help execute on several logistics and that\u2019s exactly what Goodwin does. We couldn\u2019t be prouder to be part of this incredible push.\u201d<\/p>\n Goodge, who believes in transparency, will rigorously monitor his mileage and physical parameters, via Strava, two fitness watches and a GPS live tracker that\u2019s data is also stored. He will also record and provide timestamped GPS evidence in .KML format for each run, as well as photographic and video evidence of the start, finish and other points during each run in every state. Data will be shared and published in full post completion of the challenge. Track\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Goodge has added SU2C as his charitable partner for this feat. SU2C\u2019s mission is to raise awareness and fund research to detect and treat cancers with the aspiration to cure all patients. Goodge chose SU2C due to their proven track record of funding research that has led to dramatic improvements in the treatment of multiple cancers and helped many people live longer lives.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliam\u2019s commitment to ultra-endurance and raising money to support people with cancer and cancer research is nothing short of remarkable,\u201d said SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, PhD. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that he\u2019s using his abilities, dedication, and influence to support SU2C and allow us to fund more breakthrough cancer research.\u201d<\/p>\n GoFundMe\u2019s fundraising technology is powering Goodwin Generated: Mission America fundraising experience, enabling anyone who wants to join to create their own fundraisers in support of SU2C. Learn more about SU2C\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and GoFundMe\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBy channeling grief and that heavy energy into extreme physical challenges, I can rise above, rather than wallow within,\u201d said Goodge. \u201cSo many people take on challenges due to grief, and I am excited to fundraise for SU2C, and cheer alongside others who are running challenges of their own. I\u2019m proud that we have added so many ways to participate which allows us to be as inclusive as possible. Nearly everyone has been impacted by cancer in some way, and we hope someday that changes.\u201d<\/p>\n Goodwin Generated: Mission America follows Goodge\u2019s previous challenge, a push across the length of Australia, which he completed on May 19, 2025. Goodge ran from Cottesloe Beach, Perth, WA, Australia to Bondi Beach, Sydney, NSW Australia, totaling 2,361 miles in 34 days, averaging about 70 miles a day. He was awarded the Fastest Known Time by Keelan Birch, the FKT Editor for Australia, on Aug. 15, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British ultra-marathoner, William Goodge.
