#expect_more_from_yourself
I’m taking on one of the most demanding running challenges in the world. In this anniversary year, I’ll run 50 marathons in 50 U.S. states over 50 days—from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco all the way to New York.

SecondsWhy do I run?
My name is Tomasz Sobania. Some people call me the Polish Forrest Gump because every year I set out on a really long journey.
I’ve run from Poland to Rome, Barcelona, and Greece, as well as 5,250 kilometers across the United States—from the East Coast to the West Coast. Now I’m setting myself the biggest challenge of my journey so far.
In this anniversary year in the U.S., I want to run 50 marathons in 50 U.S. states in 50 days. I’m running because I want to create a project of historic scale
and symbolically leave a Polish mark on this story.
So far, only one person has done this—Dean Karnazes, a running legend and my mentor. I’ve admired him for years, and now I have the chance to catch up to him and write my own chapter in this story.

My way to 50/50/50
For years, I’ve been choosing routes that require not only physical fitness, but also perseverance, resilience, and character. Each new project has been a step forward for me—athletically, mentally, and in life.
50/50/50 doesn’t start today.
It’s the result of the entire journey I’ve been building for years.
