- Description: Marie Leautey is a French ultrarunner and former international CFO based in Greece. Between 2019 and 1 September 2022 she completed a running circumnavigation of the world across four continents and 21 countries, covering 28,249 km (17,500 miles) - the equivalent of 680 marathons - in 825 days, running approximately one marathon per day six days a week at an average speed of 9.2 km/h. Her route covered Europe (15,420 km), North America (5,383 km), South America (3,002 km) and Australia (4,550 km), concluding on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. She crossed the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Ardennes, the Apennines, the Dinaric Alps, the Rockies, the Appalachians, the Andes and the Nullarbor Desert. She pushed a 29 kg pram throughout, using a motorhome support only in the Andes and Australia. The journey was self-financed and completed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Certified by the World Runners Association (WRA), she became the second woman and seventh person overall to complete a running circumnavigation, and the fastest woman to do so. She dedicates her achievement to the NGO Women for Women International. She has recounted the journey in her book Lootie's World Run (2025)
