Spencer Matthews is officially a Guinness World Record Holder!
The podcaster, businessman, and husband to Vogue Williams officially completed the Great Desert Marathon today – in support of Global’s Make Some Noise to raise money for charity.
Spencer ran a staggering 30 marathons in 30 days in Jordan in aid of the charity, smashing the record for the most consecutive marathons run on sand.
His final run was completed in just 4 hours, 17 minutes.
Spencer told his followers on Instagram: “I did it! I can hardly believe it! 30 DESERT MARATHONS IN 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS… ALL ON SAND. I am now a Guinness World Records holding endurance athlete – the first and only person to successfully run this many back-to-back marathons in these extreme conditions. Just over 42.2km or 26.2 miles, every single day.

“That’s 1,274.02km of some of the world’s toughest terrain with no real comfort in which to recover.
“I did this to raise awareness and funds for the incredible work that Global’s Make Some Noise do to support small charities across the UK, making sure no one has to go through life’s toughest challenges alone. (For more detailed information regarding the causes and specific examples of how your donations can help please refer to my most recent pinned post).
“So far we have raised a staggering £340,757 but as far as I’m concerned, we are just getting started… Please consider donating now if you haven’t already via the link in my bio. 100% of your donations go directly to Global’s Make Some Noise and absolutely nothing has gone or will go to me, my team or the logistics of the challenge.
“Huge thanks to my incredible support team without whom this would have been impossible. Your professionalism and constant prevention of issues before they became serious allowed me to achieve this goal. A truly unforgettable journey. What a month! What a feeling!”
What an incredible achievement – fair play to him!
