Woman Runs 100 Marathons in India for Dad

0:00On April 27th, Hannah Cox, a 41-year-old from Manchester, just pulled off one of the wildest endurance feats ever running 100 marathons, in 100 straight days across India. That's over 4,000 kilometers on dusty roads, highways and fields, tracing an old British salt tax route called the Great Hedge. She started from scratch, never having run before 18 months ago, all to honor her late dad's Indian routes and raise a million pounds for. No charities. It kicked off last October at the Pakistan-India border, heading to Kolkata near where her father was born. Cox trained hard in the UK, knocking out back-to-back marathons and coast-to-coast runs to build stamina. She quit her job, got a support van, and a small crew including a podiatrist who kept her feet intact, no lost toe nails or blisters. The roads were chaos with cows, snakes, wrong-way drivers, and even tiger prone areas needing police escorts. She battled sickness, lost over 10 kilograms, got hit by a motorbike, and still power through

Her team had all meals like porridge, rice, eggs, and roadside curries, with the van as home bays for cold showers and laundry. Strangers pitched in with food, and every 10 days they hit a cheap hotel. This say her success came from tight support, confidence, and community vibes over fancy setups. Now back home, she still chasing that million pound goal after dipping into loans, repaired her shoes with car tire scraps for sustainability, and just crushed the Brighton and London marathons. Cox calls it a late love letter to her dead, proving grit and heritage can move mountains or at least 100 marathons.
