While the challenge remains the same — seven marathons on seven continents in seven days — the 2025 Great World Race route has changed slightly, with Abu Dhabi and Portugal now part of the journey.
Media Coverage
Mission Million has been featured across regional and national media outlets.
Ben will be appearing again on BBC Radio Lancashire this Thursday to discuss Mission Million and the challenge to raise £1 million for the Royal British Legion through 7 marathons across 7 continents.
Mission Million continues to gain regional and national media attention in support of veterans and their families.
Seven marathons across every continent on Earth. Each day a new challenge, a new landscape, a new 42.195 km to conquer.
This isn't just about running. It's about proving that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they commit to a cause bigger than themselves.
Every kilometre covered, every continent crossed, and every barrier broken brings us closer to the goal: inspiring one million people to support, donate, and believe that change is possible.
The physical challenge is immense — battling jet lag, extreme climates, and sheer exhaustion. But the real mission is what happens beyond the finish line.
A journey of resilience, transformation, and giving back — powered by the support of The Royal British Legion.
The journey began with serving in the Royal Air Force — learning discipline, resilience, and the meaning of duty to something greater than yourself.
After service came the darkest chapter — becoming homeless and living in a tent on the back of a golf course. A reality too many veterans face when they leave the forces.
A life-changing diagnosis of Autism brought clarity and understanding — finally making sense of a lifetime of experiences and opening the door to a new path forward.
From rock bottom to rebuilding — becoming a qualified Personal Trainer and Registered Nurse, dedicated to helping others through fitness and healthcare.
Now an Official Ambassador for The Royal British Legion — the very organisation that made this transformation possible. All of this, thanks to the RBL.
