Synopsis
The story of Ben Smith, who decided to run 401 marathons in 401 days. People thought he was mad, until they heard his story, then they began to understand. Having endured years of bullying as a child, Ben tried to take
his own life. In adulthood, Ben struggled to feel content with the life that was mapped out for him. But having found his passion in running, Ben sold his possessions, escaped his old life and set off on what seemed like an impossible mission – The 401 Challenge.
During his 10,506.2-mile odyssey criss-crossing the UK, Ben ran in 309 different locations, accompanied by more than 13,500 people. He visited 101 schools, burned an estimated 2.4 million calories, wrecked his back and braved every extreme of the British weather, while raising £330,000 for charity, touching the lives of millions.
This is the inspiring journey of a previously lost and broken man who discovered that anything is possible, if only you choose to search for what makes you truly happy.

About the Author
Ben Smith ran 401 marathons in 401 days to raise money for the charities Stonewall and Kidscape. He has since launched The 401 Foundation, which provides grants to small grassroot organisations and individuals which help young people build confidence, improve self-esteem and tackle mental health and self-development issues.

Review
“Takes you through Ben's 401 marathons from start to finish, with evoking pictures, excerpts and comments from some of Ben's supporters, runners, friends and family. You won't be able to put this book down.” ―Outdoor Fitness, Book of the Month
“Sports Book of the Month. [An] extraordinary tale of how he formulated and then completed an outrageous sporting challenge” ―Bristol Post
“What's remarkable about Ben's story is it isn't just about him. Hearing from the people who've smashed running records, overcoming lifelong fears, and discovering Ben's selfless nature is what really stood out ... So many runners are pressured to break a new time record and “to be the best” – Ben's story questions: what is the best? Isn't being at your happiest the most fundamental thing of all?” ―Fit Pro
