Benjamin Smith will run a marathon every day for 401 days

A man who ran his first marathon just three years ago will run 401 marathons in 401 days. 

Benjamin Smith, 33, will run 26.2 miles every single day for 13 months to raise funds for anti-bullying and equality causes in the UK.

Mr Smith, from Bristol, wants to raise £250,000 for Stonewall and Kidscape. His 10,000-mile run is the distance from London to Sydney.
