What would make someone run 34 marathons in 34 days?

Or 58 marathons in 49 days?

In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, I sit down with Curtis Hargrove, endurance athlete, charity runner, and the man known for running marathons in high heels.

Curtis shares how he evolved from an everyday runner into a purpose-driven athlete, raising money and awareness for causes close to his heart, including:

• 34 marathons in 34 days for the Terry Fox Foundation
• Running across Canada for the Stollery Children’s Hospital
• Walking from Cold Lake to Edmonton in high heels to support women and children impacted by domestic violence
• 58 marathons in 49 days across the U.S.

We talk about what it’s really like to run in heels, how he manages recovery and injury prevention, the ups and downs mentally of taking on these massive challenges, and what’s next in 2026.

This episode is about grit, purpose, and using your miles for something bigger than yourself.
