Early 2019, the Dutch Royal Marines decided to do the impossible:
Break the 19-year old world record for the 42,195 km marathon Speed March
In a team of 8 men while wearing a 40-pound backpack

The current record holders are the Brits,
with an incredible time of 4 hours, 16 minutes and 43 seconds.
But The Royal Dutch Marines required its 18 fittest men, to smash the record.

They will do this for themselves and to raise money for cancer research.
6 months ago, a special member of the Dutch royal marines, Cas van Bakel
was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of cancer.
Sadly, Cas had to leave us too soon

The team was seriously affected by his death.
But Cas’ tremendous perseverance and courage lived on in the spirit of the team.
He became the face of the goal.

On April 4, 2020, the team would break the record during the Rotterdam Marathon. 
Unfortunately, COVID-19 intervened. The entire event was canceled.
But the initiator of the attempt decided to see if he was capable of beating the record.
For the team, for himself and especially for Cas. He decided to walk alone.
