The beloved former German pro is trying to raise funds for an Australian cancer charity called Tour de Cure. Last year he raised over \u20ac25,000 for the organization by \u201cEveresting\u201d Berlin. That meant riding up and down a certain climb in the German capital 100 times to gain the altitude of Mount Everest. Now he seeks to do seven marathons in seven days.<\/strong>

When Pain Helps Us to Be Better Athletes<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAfter my Everest Challenge a while back, which was already a special achievement, this is something I want to do for two reasons. First and foremost, I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback for my Everest Challenge in the beginning of the year. I want to raise as much awareness and funds as possible for the fight against cancer. The second reason is that I love to challenge my limits. I love to go above and beyond, trying to see what my body and mind are capable of. And what’s a better way to do this than running seven marathons within a week? It will possibly be the challenge that embodies my motto \u2018shut up legs\u2019 like nothing else I\u2019ve ever done before. Of course, people might think I\u2019m crazy to do something like this. But hey, I never said I wasn\u2018t,\u201d Voigt said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Jens Voigt celebrates on the podium as he became the overall leader after the the sixth stage at the Tour de Pologne cycling race, in Zakopane, Poland, 19 September 2008.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The event is called Jensie\u2019s Marathon Madness and will take place between 2nd and 8th January 2018 on the 7.1km-long Grunewald course. Anyone who cares to join Jens is more than welcomed to do so. You can run a round of 7 km, 21 km or the whole marathon \u2013 on any of the 7 days.<\/p>\n
