William Goodge

athlete United Kingdom

William Goodge is an English ultra-endurance athlete known for his remarkable feats of endurance running. He made headlines for completing the fastest crossing of Australia on foot, running 3,800 kilometers in just 35 days, which required an average of 100 kilometers per day. Goodge's previous achievements include being the fastest British individual to run across the United States from Los Angeles to New York in 55 days. His motivation for such extreme challenges stems from personal loss, particularly the passing of his mother, Amanda, to cancer, which inspires him to push through pain and adversity.
