Ben Smith | Speaker Biography

Completed 401 marathons in 401 days
Raised over £330,000 for anti-bullying charities
2016 BBC Sports Personality Helen Rollason Award

Discover the extraordinary journey of Ben Smith, a story of resilience, transformation, and redefining what's possible. Ben’s life wasn’t always one of triumph. Struggling with bullying, mental health challenges, and hiding his sexuality, he faced despair that led to two suicide attempts. At 29, a mini-stroke forced him to confront his life head on. But instead of giving up, Ben chose to change everything, turning his pain into a mission that would inspire and uplift thousands.

Ben didn’t just start running, he redefined what endurance means. In 2015, he embarked on The 401 Challenge: running 401 marathons in 401 days across the UK, covering over 10,000 miles and raising more than £330,000 for anti-bullying charities. The impact went beyond the miles. His story of courage touched the hearts of countless people, showing them how to push past their own limits and find strength in the struggle.
