The story

We decided to take things a step further and see if we could make history as the largest family to complete the six Abbott World Marathon Majors.

It started in Amsterdam in 2014: a father, his five sons and a start line. Eight races later, in Tokyo in 2023, they became the family with the most members to complete the World Marathon Majors. Now the majors are growing to nine, and the pack wants all of them.

Every start line

8 races run together. 3 majors to come.
