Nick Butter

On the 6th January 2018, Nick Butter embarked on the journey of a lifetime – a world record setting expedition to become the first person to run a marathon in every country on the planet. 

Along the way Nick captured the beauty and wonders of planet earth and the humans that make this place special. The tales of hardship, political instability, conflict, suffering, endurance, culture, religion, race, nature, and so much more are captured in this extraordinary snapshot of life, adventure and exploration.

A book about Nick’s 674-day epic adventure; a journey to be the first person to run marathon in every country in the world. 

While exploring the world, Nick discovered its diversity and what we have in common throughout different cultures.

Running through cities and deserts, around islands, along beaches and through lush vegetation, Nick was often joined by local supporters and fellow runners, curious children and bemused passers-by, who kept him company and shared their stories. These meetings and connections gave his journey extra meaning.

Running the World captures Nick’s journey as he sets three world records and covers over five thousand miles. As he recounts his adventures, he shares his unique perspective on our glorious planet, celebrates the diversity of human experience, and reflects on the overwhelming power of running.
