What does it take to run the world—literally and figuratively? For Robyn Godfrey, it meant lacing up at age 47 and transforming from a midlife party girl into a six-star marathon finisher. Running the World is more than a running memoir—it’s a story of reinvention, resilience, and discovering your purpose one mile at a time. 

From the streets of Tokyo to the crowds of New York City, Robyn shares the highs and lows of chasing all six World Marathon Majors while navigating real-life challenges: her husband’s cancer, injuries, burnout, and self-doubt. With humor and honesty, she reminds us that the real victory isn’t the medal—it’s showing up, embracing the hard stuff, and choosing joy.
