What I love about running documentaries on YouTube is that as soon as you've watched one, YouTube presents you with 5 more.

Did my first 26 mile run tonight after 5 years of running, then this video shows up in my recommended. At mile 20 I kept telling myself that everything comes to an end and that helped me keep going. What Tim achieved here is very humbling to witness and almost beyond my comprehension. How inspiring and resilient we are as human beings. Congratulations to him and his wonderful family

My 12 year old daughter and I watched this together and both were very inspired by Tim and his family. What an incredible journey.

dear film makers: please keep the raw running and nature sounds in the movies. there is no need for music playing over a creek or someone giving an interview over Tim filming.<br>check out the comments on other channels, a lot of them praise the raw sounds that let us feel included or in the moment.

I’d like to know how many times she had to tell the kids to “chill out” in 52 days. Heck of a family unit on display. Great job!

Karel Sabbe took the record back in 2023 surpassing the previous record by 5 days and 4 hours.

The only thing more incredible in this story than the run is the family's commitment. So inspiring
