2TonRun -
100 Marathons in 100 Days
It all started on Saturday 14th January 2012. This was the day that Matthew Loddy left the warmth of Lagos in the Portuguese Algarve and started his 2600 mile journey home; along the southern coast of Portugal before turning north and following the coastline to Spain. Across northern Spain, over the Pyrenees, and then up through France, before running across the channel on a treadmill on the P&O ferry. Then he ran along the south coast before turning northwards and on to London. He ran 100 marathons over a period of 100 days & finished 22nd April at the Virgin London Marathon, unbelievably with his fastest run - 3' 09"!
A Big thanks to FleetMatics for the vehicle tracker. Also, thanks to everyone who supported Matthew or sponsored him on his epic journey. We were overwhelmed at the level of support he received from corporate contacts, friends, family and even total strangers. This drove Matthew on and really helped him focus on his target.

Matthew has always been a keen sportsman and needed to keep fit in his earlier life as he tried to make his fortune as a professional footballer. Sadly, he just missed the boat, and after a non league career ended, the pounds went on. Here we are 20 years later, and he says the training feels just as hard as it ever did!
Training aside, the commitment for such a feat was very real, and with a constantly expanding group of followers and supporters the challenge was well and truly set. This was an immense task, and Matthew thoroughly deserved the level of support he received.
Look at who took part in the run;
- Sheryl Gascoigne and her children Bianca, Regan and Mason in a tag team
- Karen, India and Jemima Loddy - in support of their crazy husband/father
- Tony Garment - friend, fellow Trustee & regular running companion
- Cliff King – See the support team page
- Jon O’Shea (Haslers) – A very professional man who has previously run a marathon to the North Pole
- Lawrence Shafier (Mr Fit from Haslers) – A very professional man who is just too fit for words!
- Ed Bankole, Jason Austin, Chris Hurley – Framework Scaffolding Management team
- Jamie Wyatt, Mark Jewell, Dave Trevillion – Framework Scaffolding ‘wannabe’ Management Team
