Durbin averaged about 5 hours for each of the marathons. But he completed the race in Sydney in less than 5 hours.
Durbin spent roughly $37,000 to participate with 11 others, who are from Brazil, India, Great Britain, Hong Kong, France, Finland and Australia.
The challenge was part of a bigger project that Durbin started In 2013 when he began logging his miles for walking, running, cross country skiing and swimming in order to complete the distance around the equator - 24,901 miles before 2022.
He's doing it all for a good cause -- raising money for the V Foundation for cancer research.
