Fiddy2 was Dane Rauschenberg's project to run one marathon every weekend in 2006 (52 marathons in total). He started the project without a charity fund-raising goal, but added the Mobile, Alabama chapter of L'Arche as beneficiary "a few months into planning" the project.[1] Raising $42,588.40 to date (July 2007), Rauschenberg continues to attempt raise his $52,000 goal through his website Fiddy2. The website also states that he has become an official spokesperson for Ripley's Believe It or Not.

While, Rauschenberg's attempt to run a marathon every weekend in one calendar year appears to be the third successful attempt at this particular task,[citation needed] there appears to be no one who has run such a schedule in faster times.[citation needed] With an overall marathon average of 3:21:16 Rauschenberg ran his fastest marathon of the year in his 42nd marathon of the year (2:59:48). Because of the lack of marathons on Christmas weekend, Rauschenberg had to organize his own marathon race on a high school track to meet his 52-week goal. The difficulty of finding marathons on all 52 weekends of the year makes this project atypical. Some runners attempted a comparable goal of running 50 marathons distances in 50 weeks in 50 different states.[2][3] Many commentators have compared this venture to that Chuck Engle, who ran 50 marathons in 2006 on 50 weekends, all in under 3 hours but who did so professionally while not actively raising money for a particular charity.[4]
