There was no locking down Hastings man Jason Stuckey in 2020, as he pushed through injuries to go for a run every single day of the year. Stuckey, who completed multiple marathons and ran almost double the length of State Highway 1 in 365 days, was inspired to take up the challenge after seeing fellow runners sharing their daily challenge on running app Strava. I thought, man, that s a really big challenge. I mean who the heck wants to run every day for a whole year?
Jason Stuckey crossing the finish line of his final run of the year. In 366 days – 2020 was a leap year – he ran 1926.9km in 172 hours and 37 minutes, with 12,143 metres of elevation. “I’m pretty proud of it.” For his final run of the year he was joined by his father Paul and son Luke for the last two kilometres, before being presented with a homemade medal and a beer. Inspiration had struck when Stuckey had seen fellow runners posting about the daily challenge on the app Strava. Following a few years of failed attempts he decided to “just do it”. In February, he injured his calves and hamstrings because his body wasn’t used to the stress of running so frequently.
