Tim Peake the UK Astronaut who is currently on the International Space Station ran the 26 mile London Marathon distance on the exorcise treadmill that astronauts use to keep in shape and battle the effects of weightlessness on the ISS. 

 

If you factor in the movement of the ISS he traveled around 53,000 miles during his run Smiley Very Happy

Bit far to go in order to run 26 miles, in my humble opinion... I imagine the Uber fare was extortionate.
