It is unknown what the the max distance is. Terry fox ran a marathon every day over the course of 140+ days and ran around 3500 miles …… and he was missing a leg when he did it.

Was he running to find his leg?

Sort of, or the legs of others? Ran to raise money for cancer research and awareness, he’s basically the closest thing we have to a secular Saint in mainstream Canadian culture. The Terry Fox Run is a staple of grade school life.
