Terry Roseoman, 38, from South Wales, walked through the fog and darkness across the Brecon Beacons on a phallus-shaped 75-mile route to raise money and promote men’s mental health issues for Movember.
Mr Rossoman, who started his journey at 5pm on Friday at Abergavenny train station and finished at around 4.30pm on Saturday at the same location, described the challenge as the “hardest thing” he had ever taken on.
Speaking in his car as he drove home after finishing his run, he told the PA news agency: “It was absolutely horrible.
“It was really hard, really hard, the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It was just hard work for 24 hours.
“I didn’t sleep, I ran at night, pitch black, I couldn’t see anything. We got lost many times.
“The height killed us. It was really hard. I’m just glad I did.”
Mr Rozoman, who is a director of a freelance marketing company, showed off the burly manhood shape to attract the attention of his “target demographic” and joked that most men find the shape “ridiculous”.
The challenge was in aid of Movember, a charity which raises awareness and funds for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer, and is celebrating its 21st anniversary this year.
He said creating the largest drawing of male genitalia was his biggest challenge and has so far raised more than £3,500 of his £5,000 target.
He said the hardest part was running in “12 hours of pitch darkness” at night with little or no visibility due to thick fog.
“I couldn’t see anything, not even a sausage. We have torches lit, but all you can see is what is shining in front of you,” he said.
“Even with the torches you can only see a few feet in front of you because of the fog.”
Mr Rossoman said the highlight was crossing the finish line at Abergavenny railway station to see his daughters and wife who “ran up and hugged me”.
“A lot of my friends and family were there that I didn’t expect. It was brilliant,” he said.
He has yet to set his sights on another challenge of this magnitude and instead intends to overindulge on Christmas with his family.
“I’m gaining weight for Christmas. This is now, no challenges, no training. My body is in pieces. It will take quite a few weeks to recover,” he said.
“I’m just going to enjoy Christmas and spend time with the family.”
He thanked those who joined him in his challenge and the people who donated to his fundraising campaign.
“Just thank you for all the support I’ve received from people, everyone who came running with me, donated and shared. We wouldn’t have raised over £3,500 without them,” he said.
Mr Rossoman hopes his efforts will inspire men to take on their own challenges.
“Basically, I just wanted to promote this message of challenges,” he said.
“At the end of the day it’s just about goals, goals, but big goals and big goals that are bigger than yourself, that are more important than going to the pub, and this will give you that kind of purpose.”
