My Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal: What it cost Me

In this video I talk about what it cost me to run the Six Marathon Majors I started my journey with the Chicago Virtual Marathon in 2020, with my first marathon major medal coming in the Chicago Marathon 2021. In this video I go through all of the costs associated with running the major marathons, which can be considerable. Entry, Travel, Accommodation, Stuff. The cost of running the six major marathons is considerable. As well as winning several lotteries to get into some of the marathons, I am conscious that I won the health lottery and the life's lucky lottery that enabled me to afford it, though there have been many time during my life when I may have been able to run the marathons, but would not have been able to afford them. As always there are chapter markers down below so you can skip through to the parts you might be interested in.
