Adrian Kostera (b. 1986) is a Polish ultra-triathlete. He comes from the provinces, and before he found sport he worked in a greenhouse and a poultry processing plant — he only started running on his 30th birthday. Ten years later he is the creator of the longest triathlon in sports history. He is a TEDx speaker and author of the autobiography "The Product of My Weaknesses". He lives in Venlo, the Netherlands. On his 40th birthday — September 9, 2026 — he starts the project "1000 Marathons in 1000 Days": one full marathon (42.195 km) every day for 1000 consecutive days, until June 4, 2029. This is the largest sports project in world history in terms of continuous endurance effort. The project also runs for the Młode Głowy Foundation, supporting youth mental health.

Quotes

Ready quotes

Six of Adrian's statements that will strengthen any piece. All can be quoted without consultation — authorship confirmed, one click copies the quote with attribution.

"On my 30th birthday I started running. On my 40th I start running for 38 million Poles."
— Adrian Kostera
"I'm selling three years of my life. To show that the boundaries which seem closed are merely unopened."
— Adrian Kostera
"I worked in a greenhouse and a poultry plant. I know what fatigue is. Running 42 kilometers a day for three years is not harder than eight hours at the conveyor belt — it's just hard in a different way."
— Adrian Kostera
"I'll take the first step for you. Millions of times. If I succeed, every Pole gets their step."
— Adrian Kostera
"Each of these 1000 marathons I also run for Młode Głowy. Because I know the hardest fight happens in the head — and no one should have to fight that fight alone."
— Adrian Kostera
"I'm not just running for the record. I'm running for proof that three years of consistency mean more than one spectacular day."
— Adrian Kostera
