26.2 with Tim

09/04/2020

Accumulate a total of 26.2 miles between as a team, an individual or as a family… it is up to you! We suggest the children run as a group to reflect this distance.

Tim Peake ran the 42km (26.2mi) distance int three hours, 35 minutes wearing a harness over his shoulders and waist to keep him in contact with the treadmill. Tim is the second person to complete a marathon in space. Sunita Williams, was the first astronaut to complete a marathon. The ISS circles the Earth at a relative velocity of 28,800km/h (17,900mph), so Tim covered more than 86,000km (53,000mi) during his run.
