Woman accomplishes astonishing feat by completing 495 marathons in Germany
Joyce Huebner's "Joyce Städtetrip": Running 495 Marathons Across Germany
Joyce Huebner, a resident of Brandenburg, has embarked on an extraordinary challenge called the "Joyce Städtetrip." This ambitious project aims to run 495 marathons in 495 consecutive days, covering approximately 21,312 kilometers and more than 200,000 meters of elevation gain, traversing all 2,059 German cities[1].
The route for the journey has been meticulously planned with the help of Google Maps, taking Joyce through over 2,000 cities in Germany[1]. As of August 2025, she has completed 81 marathons, with recent stops including Schneeberg, continuing her route through Germany[1].
Joyce shares updates and highlights regularly on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, showing progress such as marathon No. 69 through cities like Wurzen, and marathon No. 75[3][5]. Her route roughly includes every city in Germany, making this not just a physical but also a geographical and logistical feat, effectively covering the country city by city[1]. Each marathon corresponds to a new city or stage in her journey.
Her progress can be tracked through: - Instagram reels and posts with highlights from specific marathons[2][5] - TikTok videos showing notable moments and challenges encountered on the route[3] - A YouTube weekly summary series detailing groups of marathons covered per week[4]
Joyce's life partner is accompanying her on her journey, transporting luggage and equipment by car and providing refreshments every few kilometers. Joyce expects to wear out over 30 pairs of shoes during her planned journey, which is expected to take 494 days, starting in Helmstedt, Lower Saxony, and ending in Berlin[1].
This journey extends beyond Joyce's past projects, as she views running as more than just a sport; it's her passion, motivation, and fun. Interested individuals can join Joyce on her journey on foot, by bike, or on inline skates. The details of Joyce's journey can be found at https://www.example.com.
Joyce recently finished her run in Meißen with many fellow runners[1]. She has already crossed the city limits of Dresden as part of the 73rd stage of her journey, having run through Riesa, Grillenburg in the Tharandter Wald, and Neustadt[1].
