MrBeast and his crew run a full 26-mile marathon wearing custom size-40 shoes that weigh 5 pounds each. The shoes cost $12,000 to make. They deal with blisters, cramps, and constant pain before finally crossing the finish line.
Chapters
If you don't know, a marathon is 26 miles. And today, with no prior training, we're going to attempt it with the world's largest pair of shoes. Do you want to compare them? Wow, look at the difference there. Yeah, they already do.
3, 2, 1, go!
So the marathon has started. I don't like this. I don't either. Feel free to pass us.
They're doing the whole marathon like that?
Wow.
We technically haven't even passed the start line yet.
We're actually negative into the race.
What happened to Chandler? We haven't even got through the start line and he's quitting. And it has officially begun.
There it is. We did it.
Everybody's already passed us. We're being left behind.
Slow and steady wins the race.
A marathon is one of the hardest feats any human could attempt.
Space travel.
I said one. This is 26 miles, which is a lot.
People train for these for like a long time. I got 4 hours of sleep and I ate a hot dog.
Each of these shoes weighs 5 pounds. That's 10 pounds in total.
That's my child on my feet.
Now you know what your wife has to carry all day. How far are we?
Eighth of a mile.
Eighth of a mile. I'll take it. What happened?
What happened to Chandler? These shoes suck. They hurt my ankles, my feet. 26 miles doing this. I'm miserable. Buddy, what took so long? My shoes don't fit.
They're size 40.
Eh!
I don't know if Chandler's cut out for the size 40 marathon.
Some men can't handle the size 40.
I think she's the final person. Now we are officially in last place.
Someone has to be last.
Yeah, and it's us. Every time I think he quits, he comes back. He threw his shoes.
Does that mean you're done?
I think he survived half a mile.
He made it a lot farther than we thought and we're proud of him.
Can you not throw your shoes and quit on me? No promises. Okay. We're already so far behind that we have to go on the sidewalk 'cause they're about to open up the first part of the road. AKA, we're going too slow.
Now find that beat. There it is.
One of our friends is running the marathon normally. This guy, Carl. I'm gonna call him and see how far ahead he is.
Hey, what's up?
How's everything going for you?
About to get to mile 3.
How do your shoes that don't weigh 10 pounds feel?
I didn't even remember I had shoes on.
I hate you, bye.
Just talked to Jimmy. I'm going to go ahead and do the marathon on my own with regular boy shoes and see how much faster I can get to the finish line than them.
We're going to do this 100% real. So in between each cut, we're going to try our best to time-lapse everything. We're not like normal YouTubers who just fake stuff. Time-lapse. We have crossed 1 mile out of 26. We're going to take a quick break. All right, I need help. Since Chandler quit, we called in help from our friend Tyler from this video. We need you to put on his shoes and join us.
Do you have multiple days free?
It's gonna take days. Yeah, maybe. Help me up, it's hard to stand up. Oh, oh, oh, this feels weird. Yeah, how's it going?
What's up?
So you're gonna see a lot of people go by us. That's because in this marathon you go to a point and then you come back. We're so far behind, they're already on their lap back. We are passing mile number 2. We're 2 miles in. How do you feel?
Everything hurts, these shoes are too big. I don't know if this is possible.
Tyler, how do you feel? My ankles are killing me.
I understand why he quit.
It hurts bad.
We're only 8% done and I already feel like I have blisters. We are done with our break. 24 miles to go. It's harder than it looks. Chris, did you fart? I did. I smell it.
Oh, I like your shoes better. You want to trade?
I love your shoes. You wear size what? 40. Oh my God, I got big feet. Is it me or have the shoes gotten bigger? I swear they've gotten bigger. No, that's not how shoes work. I know this is hard, boys, uh-huh, but we got to do it.
Okay.
Why? Because it's what the title and thumbnail said. This is a Subway footlong and this is how it compares to our shoe. Tiny. Okay, break's over. Let's grind out some miles. Okay, boys. Our friend Karl ran the marathon normal. Now he's calling. Hey, what's up? Did you finish?
Yeah, I just did. Are you guys about to finish?
You did all 26 miles?
Yeah, it's all. It's all done now.
We're on mile 3.3.
3?
Yeah.
They're closing down the finish line. You got 15 minutes to make it 22, 23 more miles.
I hate to break it to you, but that's not happening.
In that case, I'm going to go to sleep.
Okay, bye. There's a car here for sale. Should we buy this car and just fake the video? Please. We don't fake video. All right, boys. Time for another break. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I don't know. Once you get going, it's not that bad.
He's that kid everyone hates. I don't know how I'm going to finish because we're 5 miles in and we have another 20 to go and I'm exhausted. 21 to be exact. My toes hurt. I will be shocked if we finish this. All right guys, we got a good break in. Let's keep going. Oh wait, I forgot you have big shoes on.
Who got big shoes?
Your boy.
I got big shoes on.
Coming into town. I need another break, dude. My hips are killing me.
Oh, my back. No more breaks after this.
My ankles are hurting, so we're gonna rewrap them and maybe make it tighter. The shoe was constantly scraping the side of my feet and it was getting extremely painful. So we had to do some modifications. So we have our new contraptions on. We're still getting used to them. It still hurts my hips, but just not as bad.
Let's start getting some miles in, boys.
Grind time, baby. We're marching down the street in our oversized shoes.
Hey!
Oh my gosh, they're burning. All right, I need a break. We went and got some pizza, and I'm not going to lie, I feel much better after eating.
I took a break from walking and now I'm cold.
It's 11 PM. We've been going for like 15 hours. My legs are super tight. The things we do for videos. Tyler, are you tired? Yes. Chris, are you tired?
And cold.
Jimmy, are you tired?
Yes.
Well then the only logical thing to do is to go get some sleep and pick up where we are right here tomorrow. Clap on 3. 1, 2, 3. And now it's the next day. Let's get back to the marathon, boys. We had to pay someone to custom make these shoes for months. The shoes cost $12,000. These are expensive shoes. Is this a life jacket? Why is there a princess life jacket on the side of the street?
Hey, what's up, man? Out here doing things and stuff, huh?
All right, boys, I need another break. Let's go sit down. We had to take a quick pit stop to duct tape up the shoes. The shoes are all fixed. We're going to keep going. You like our shoes? We haven't We haven't even crossed 10 miles yet. Shut up. We still have 16 more.
Shut your mouth.
Whoa, I almost died. What do you think of our shoes?
They're nice.
You know what they say about big shoes? Big socks. Have a great day.
That's a good joke right here. Thanks, man. Yes, why are we holding hands?
Friendship.
Hey, how's it going? I love you too. Carl's called. Hey Carl, what's up?
Hey, not too much. I'm just hanging out at the beach right now. Where are you guys at?
Oh, we haven't reached 10 miles yet.
Yeah, we're still doing the marathon. Hurry up, I'm over here right now.
Next to the Ferris wheel.
Well, not all of us had normal shoes. Take your phone.
My legs hurt.
My heart hurts. All right, huddle up, huddle up, huddle up, huddle up. We are now over 10 miles in this marathon.
Yay, not halfway there.
Yeah, but close. We're almost halfway. We will be half— almost halfway. I have like 5 cramps.
My cramps have cramps.
Here's the deal, we need to blitz out some miles. Blitz on 3. 1, 2, 3, blitz! This is uphill. This is hard. Hey Bob, that was like 5 phones recording me. You guys are awesome. I love you. Oh, this hurts.
Jogging hurts.
All right, and we just crossed the 12th mile. Almost halfway. This hurts. I'm so tired. My new strat is to get really far ahead and then nap while I wait. They're so far back there. I think jogging might be the strat, boys. MrBeast? Yeah, I gotta keep walking, but we can talk. You said you're subscribed to me?
Yeah.
Prove it. As you can see here, he is subscribed. Here's some money.
Oh my God.
Are you guys subscribed?
No.
No? Oh darn. Okay, I'm gonna get back to my marathon. Hit that subscribe button because you might bump into me in real life and it might make you a lot of money. Is he subscribed? You subscribed. Here's some money. Have a good day.
Oh my God, no! Thank you!
12.5 miles. Yay, confetti!
We're almost halfway. Let's blitz to the 13-mile marker, which is half of the 26 total. On 3. 1, 2, last one's rotten egg!
You're too fast!
But where's mile 13? We maybe made it 50 feet. That was harder than I thought. All right, we're just gonna walk the rest.
After that sprint, my legs are telling me to stop.
That was kind of dumb. Now my legs hurt. We have officially completed a half marathon in size 40 shoes. How do you guys feel?
Like we did it.
Everything we've done up to this point, we have to do again. At least we know we could do it once.
Does anybody have a bathroom around here?
I gotta poop.
This man's finna bust.
I really have to poop, so I'm gonna see if they'll let me use the bathroom. Bathroom. I can't fit up the stairs. It's probably the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life. Thanks for letting me use your bathroom. Have a good day. And we're on mile 14. All right, boys, we're a mile over halfway. How do you feel?
I don't feel right now.
My legs are feeling, and it's pain. Let's take a break.
Let's do it. 3 hours later.
It's been a little while. We ate some grapes. And, um, yeah, now we're gonna start walking again. We still have 12 miles left. We are officially on mile number 16, boys. It's really late. We want to go home.
Yes, we do.
So let's finish the last 10 miles.
Let's go!
Why is this uphill?
Oh, this really hurts.
We're closing in on mile 17. I can't wait. What just happened?
So we just still walking.
We still be walking.
Is it break time yet?
You want to take a break on this uncomfortable grass?
Well, of course.
I think we should get some rest and finish tomorrow. Agreed?
Agreed.
Yes.
Everyone lay down and go to bed.
You just going to sleep in the streets?
Lay down.
From the streets.
How'd you guys sleep last night?
Oh, that was the worst sleep I've ever had in my life.
Getting up is going to be hard.
There was a rock under me.
And let's continue.
My legs hurt. My knees are rusty.
It's my left leg that I feel like I've ruined. Brady!
Yep?
Can I have your hat?
Thank you. Oh, my legs are still hurting. My knees are swollen.
Of course, we have a few miles left, and there's a billboard with a steak on it. And mind you, that steak looks good. Aye, aye, aye.
Whoa, look at this.
2-hour break initiated.
I mean, it would be rude of us not to.
All right, I guess I might as well sit. Sorry, Tyler. Ah, you're heavy. You weigh a lot.
Now my legs are worse. I think sitting makes it worse. They're really tight.
Not gonna lie, sitting feels good. Don't know what you're talking about. You know what's gonna feel better? Finishing. It's actually insane that we raised enough money to plant 20 million trees. I feel like most people forgot that was even a thing. Like, that was so crazy. Team Trees was such a big success. Also, we just crossed 22 miles. Hey, this is it, the final mile.
We got this, boys.
Final mile on 3. 3, 2, 1.
Final mile.
3. Final mile.
I can't believe we actually have done this. This is the dumbest thing we've ever done.
Hello. Hey, don't Don't fall out of your car! Why would she—
why'd she open her car door?
That's dangerous, don't do that.
Hey! Hello!
Lots of yelling. I'm just trying to cross the street in peace.
Yeah, fun fact about this energy, I don't hear it being up. We only got like an eighth of a mile left.
Jimmy, there will be a finish line, we promise.
There it is.
Oh my God. Oh my God. That's the finish line.
Thank you.
This right here is the pathway to the finish line. It's not as epic as a normal finish line, and that's because the marathon closed 2 days ago.
I have never been so happy in my entire life.
We're almost there. We're almost at the finish line. It's right there. Okay.
Okay.
Last one's running. No!
I won!
Oh, why did we do that?
Oh, I tripped so hard. I'm tired. Tired.
Oh no.
We did it.
We did it.
Don't take my eye. We officially completed a marathon in size 40 shoes. I have a big hat on. I'll just, I'll hold it. More importantly, let's get these shoes off.
Yes. Now.
Please. This video took a lot of time and was incredibly painful.
Yes.
So if you could subscribe, it'd make all our feet feel better and also our hearts. Please do. I love you guys. See you later. 6000. Oh, oh, Mr. B6000, yeah, you know his name. He changed it once or twice, but I think it's here to stay.
