Marathonman 365

Documentary 52 min
Stefaan Engels was diagnosed with asthma as a child but in this inspirational film he fronts an unbelievable campaign to get people active and running. His mission : 365 marathons in 365 days. The pain and misery he runs through is incredible. Body and mind are fighting for supremacy. During this epic journey he bridges time zones, overcomes inflamed muscles, jet lags, a serious case of Montezuma revenge… Leaving the comfort zone, stretching the limits, we can do more than we think if we believe in our objective.

This crazy idea became a campaign, a battle against the lack of physical activity. Sponsor Pronokal used my footage and edits for a global campaign against obesitas.
It helped Marathon Man to run in Spain, Portugal, Untited States, Canada, Mexico…

Marathonman became a modern hero and moved people all over the world. The 15.400 kilometers are completed, but the campaign isn’t. The movie Marathonman365 is an extraordinary legacy for those who want to be inspired or want to inspire others, like You.
