Nick Butter, Running The World

THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED / MOVED TO 2022.  All tickets remain valid for Wednesday 16 March 2022. 

Statement from Speakers From The Edge - 'Regrettably due to a scheduling conflict related to Nick’s next world record attempt, we must move our scheduled date to March. This decision wasn’t taken lightly and we hope it hasn’t caused too much inconvenience. Nick is really looking forward to meeting everyone and chatting soon.'

Running The World 196 - On January 6th 2018, Nick Butter set out to achieve what had never been done. To run a marathon in every country in the world. In just 674 days he returned exhausted, broken, but triumphant, and with a vast collection of tales to leave you open-mouthed.

Very few people dare to simply visit every country. Those who do, take years, or a lifetime. Nick ran 26.2 miles (42km) in all 196 countries on earth. He did so in just 23 months, 11 days and 3 hours. In doing so he set the world record and broke others. Battling war zones, wild time differences and over 100 degree of temperature variation, he ran in all 7 continents, traveling alone. Nick's journey saw him catch over 300 flights, run 10 million steps, faced muggings, dog attacks, border bribes, over 80 canceled flights, and spent his life in 3-day cycles. Run, Rest, Travel, repeat, until the job was done. Pictures really do paint a thousand words. His photography is exceptional; a real glimpse into the vast diversity of our world.

Sharing photography, film, and outrageous tales Nick's talks are utterly fascinating, and will certainly leave you inspired; if a little fidgety for adventure. Not to be missed.
