Island runner completes 30 marathons in 30 days to raise money for Victoria hospitals

  VICTORIA After running 30 marathons in 30 days, Yana Hempler crossed the finish line for the last time on Sunday completely composed and hardly out of breath. “I would be dragging my butt,” said running mate Sean Mitchell. “This was her fastest of the 30, so it’s pretty amazing” Hempler took on the challenge with an ambitious goal of raising $500,000 for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. By the time she crossed the finish line Sunday, she had raised about $100,000. “COVID has placed a stress on our system, as you can imagine, and there’s a lot of needs, and Yana is going to help us meet those needs for Island Health,” said Victoria Hospitals Foundation executive director Avery Brohman.

“It really amped me up and it was absolutely fantastic,” said Hempler. Hempler completed 30 marathons 26.2 miles or 42 kilometres each day only taking walk breaks at about the halfway mark for water and nutrition supplements. Most of her routes included laps of the Galloping Goose and Lochside Trail. One loop from Tillicum Road to Saanich Road, for instance, is four kilometres and a marathon is just over 10 laps. On Sunday, Hempler, who works in supply chain for Viking Air, said she was teeming with energy but recalled how on Day 4, with 26 marathons or about 1,092 kilometres to go, she was stiff and sore and moving on all fours to ascend and descend stairs at her home.
