William Goodge (athlete)

William Goodge is a British ultra-endurance athlete from Bedfordshire, England, born in 1994. He first drew attention in December 2020 by running twelve marathons in twelve days, and in 2021 he completed 48 marathons in 30 days, one in each English county. In 2022 he ran the 257 kilometre Marathon des Sables across the Sahara. In 2023 he ran 3,175 miles from Los Angeles to New York in 55 days, the fastest by a Briton, and in April and May 2025 he ran about 3,800 kilometres from Perth to Sydney in 35 days and claimed a Trans-Australia record. Critics have questioned the GPS and heart rate data of the Australia run, which Goodge denies.
