Marie ‘Lootie’ Leautey

She ran around the world—700 marathons across four continents, nearly 30,000 kilometers, in just 825 days. No injuries. Sixteen pairs of shoes.
One extraordinary woman.
Marie Leautey, a former international CFO turned world-record endurance athlete, author, and inspirational speaker, became only the seventh person—and the second woman in history—to complete a run around the planet.
Her astonishing journey, captured in Lootie’s World Run, is a story of grit, transformation, and the relentless pursuit of purpose.
Today, Lootie inspires audiences worldwide to break through fear, redefine limits, and reconnect with what truly matters.
