Why am I running?

My name is Tomasz Sobania. Some people call me the Polish Forrest Gump because every year I embark on a truly long journey.

I've run from Poland to Rome, Barcelona, and Greece, as well as 5,250 kilometers across the United States -from the East Coast to the West Coast. Now I'm facing my biggest challenge yet.

In the US anniversary year, I want to run 50 marathons in 50 American states in 50 days. I'm running because I want to create a project of historic proportions.
and in a symbolic way mark the Polish trace in this story.

Only one man has ever done this - Dean Karnazes, a legend in the world of running. I've admired him for years, and now I have the chance to catch up with him and write my own chapter in this story.

My Path to
50/50/50

For years, I've been choosing routes that require not only physical fitness but also consistency, resilience, and character. Each subsequent project has been a step further for me - athletically, mentally, and personally.

50/50/50 doesn't start today.
This is the result of the entire road that I have been building for years.
