A runner who finished 29th in the Los Angeles Marathon ate nothing but McDonald's for a month before the race.
The runner, Joe D'Amico from Palatine in north-west Chicago, completed the marathon in a personal best time of 2 hours, 36 minutes and 13 seconds.
The 36-year-old told the Chicago Sun Times the challenge combined his two loves, McDonald's and running, but he was not doing it for political reasons or to upset anyone.
“It went just as I planned,” D’Amico said after finishing on Sunday.
“The course was much tougher than I expected and the wind and rain didn’t help, but I felt strong.”
He consumed 24 chicken snack wraps, 23 hamburgers, three filet-o-fish burgers, an Aberdeen Angus burger, 63 cookies and 91 hotcakes in the month before the race.
He told the Chicago Sun Times the only things he consumed that were not the on the McDonald's menu were water, a daily multivitamin and the odd runner's gel supplement.
Along the way he picked up more than 23,000 Facebook fans and raised more than $30,000 for Ronald McDonald House.
He celebrated finishing the race with a Snickers bar but would "probably be back in a McDonald’s sometime next week,” he said.
