Running to raise money for a charity called Goal, which works to ease suffering in Darfur,  Richard Donovan ran seven marathons on seven continents. If you know your continents, you know that's a challenge. More: He did it in 5 days.

The order of Donovan's extreme running, which began Jan. 31:

• Antarctica
• Cape Town, South Africa
• Dubai
• London
• Toronto
• Santiago, Chile
• Sydney, Australia

Donovan took airline flights between destinations. Alone, a pretty grueling schedule, let alone running 183 miles!

It's not the first time he's tried to break marathon records to get publicity. In June 2008, he performed something called Run of the Country to raise money for an Irish charity.

In 2002, he became the first person in the world to run a marathon at both the North and South Poles.
