7 Marathons, 7 Continents, 7 Days: Casey Snyder's World Marathon Challenge with Firefly Recovery

Running Around The World

Casey Snyder (single father, entrepreneur and New Jersey resident) just ran 7 marathons on all 7 continents. This feat is impressive enough as a standalone statement, but for Casey - it didn't stop there. He decided to finish all 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days.  

Known as the World Marathon Challenge, completing 7 marathons/7 continents/7 days has been accomplished by only a precious few in the 8 years the challenge has taken place. 

Even before #TeamFirefly athlete Casey Snyder set his sites on the World Marathon Challenge, he had an impressive history with unique and...well...challenging endurance events. Snyder completed a marathon in all 50 states in 2022 and currently holds a "2-mile-a-day" run streak that has lasted 4,102 days to date. 

There was a noticeable difference in Snyder's World Marathon Challenge build-up, despite his established history and familiarity with training for long endurance runs. This time, he utilized Firefly Recovery.

"Firefly was tremendously beneficial when training began for the World Marathon Challenge. While I was used to running every day, I was not used to running that many miles a week. Firefly became part of my daily routine. Once the challenge began, I relied heavily on using my Firefly devices as they were incredibly convenient to use flying from continent to continent. I would use the devices prior to each marathon, complete the 26.2 miles, and then put them on again once I was back on the plane. I noticed the recovery was significantly better (and faster) than my experience with running marathons in all 50 states back in 2022." -Casey Snyder, World Marathon Challenge Finisher
