Virginia man runs marathon in his driveway

Forrester Safford took social distancing while running outside to a whole new level.

He completed the distance equivalent of running a marathon while running almost the entire distance from his own driveway.

His inspiration for the run came from a man in France who ran a marathon at his apartment.

“I read an article the other day about a guy in France that ran a marathon on the top of his apartment complex, on the roof,” says Safford. “I just kind of looked at the driveway, and I was like I wonder if I can do this without getting sick as far as dizzy or hurt. I didn’t want to get hurt either. So, I just decided to do it.”

Forrester Safford started his marathon just after 2:00 in the morning.
