In 1873, a well-known French writer Jules Verne published a novel about two travellers: Mr Foggs and Passepartout, his servant. It is one of his most famous books.

The story started in London on October 2, 1872. Mr Foggs, a rich English gentleman, decided to travel around the world in 80 days with his servant. Their travel was full of adventures. Mr Foggs and Passepartout visited 6 countries, crossed 4 seas and 2 oceans. They travelled by trains and ships, rode elephants, and even travelled on a sledge. They went to places which tourists had never visited before. They saw high mountains and hills, green forests and beautiful valleys with rivers. On the one hand, their journey was exciting and interesting but, on the other hand, it was difficult and dangerous.

Mr Foggs’s plan came true. He and Passepartout returned to London in 80 days.

Three friends decided to run 184 miles along the Thames. They started their journey from the source of the most famous English river.

The weather was fine when they took the first photo of the river. Their marathon began. The Thames was quite and narrow. The friends passed nice villages and small towns, which tourists very rarely visit. During the trip, the runners did not sleep in tents, they stopped at hotels.

Then, closer to London, the river changed its character — it became wider. There were lots of boats and ships on the Thames. On the seventh day, the runners got to London and jogged through the centre of the city. Finally, the runners got to the Thames Barrier, which lets the river into the sea. Their marathon was over.

“We have done it! We are tired but happy. Next year we will run along the Severn, which is longer than the Thames,” one of the runners wrote in his Facebook page.
