On 4 July 2023, I was named bird king of the year in Roskilde Bird Shooting Association. In doing so, I followed in the footsteps of many proud men who before me have enjoyed the same title since 1787. For me it was quite special, as it was 50 years since I got my first […]

Today, the third marathon of the year was completed, on the third continent of the year. It didn’t turn into long flights with changing several times zones this time. It was just two kilometers from my residence in my hometown. Roskilde Marathon route 3 is a great race on paths and roads around Himmelev, Veddelev […]

After five years with four canceled “The Great Wall Marathon” due to the corona pandemic, it was great to come back and run on my “home track”. The temperature was extremely high, one of the hottest days the race has offered. But as always, it was a good and fantastic experience, completing the iconic race […]

On the one-year anniversary of my previous marathon, it was finally time for the magical 42.195 kilometers again. The involuntary long break is due to surgery and several injuries. The new experience of a lifetime was the “Lost City Marathon” in Mexico. It was a fantastic day, but also a hard day. We started at […]

Today’s challenge was “Success Marathon” in Næstved. I got through and thus lived up to the name of the marathon. The run was a quarter marathon that had to be completed four times. The runners themselves were responsible for timing and catering. Thus it was a Cannonball race. It rained most of the day, but […]

The first marathon of the year was completed today as far away from home as possible. Again, it was the first edition of a race with Albatros Adventure Marathons, the 14th in the series. First Light Marathon was held in Tairāwhiti Gisborne, Aotearoa New Zealand. Thus, on the world’s unofficial 8th continent, Zealandia. The name […]

Today I should have run the 10th marathon of the year. I have not previously run a double-digit number of marathons in a calendar year. It wasn’t supposed to be like that. I must leave 2022 with nine pieces in the “belt”, which is a tangent to 2003. Maybe I have tightened the “bow” at […]

From New York to Kalundborg is a difference. It does not change the fact that a marathon is 42.195 k wherever in the world it is run. Today I ran the Advent Marathon in Kalundborg, a well-organized race where we went through woods and roads. Not least the eight stretches along the coast in fresh […]

If you snooze you lose. My son, Steffen wake me up from snoozing and I immediately woke up. I had never dreamed of the New York City Marathon, but Steffen’s joining as an employee in the sports travel industry gave me an unexpected opportunity. Such an opportunity would not come again, so I had no […]

The provisional seventh marathon of the year was achieved today with the completion of the World’s Fastest Marathon ending in Granada, Spain.   With the race, I have the “plate” full of completion of all Adventure Marathon’s races. In 23 years, it has become 37 running trips, including 36 marathon trips and one adventure running […]
