Welshman plans walk that he hopes will inspire a specific demographic
A runner is attempting to create the largest GPS drawing of a penis on foot in support of men’s mental health.
Terry Rosoman, 39, from Wales, plans to run a 75-mile route across the Breacon Beacons, which he has painstakingly mapped out to resemble male genitalia.
Wearing a smart watch to trace his steps, he will begin at Abergavenny train station at 5pm on Friday before thrusting himself into the wilderness.
The route will see him brave the throbbing cold of the Beacons overnight, navigating slippery surfaces and climaxing in altitude at 10,000ft.
Meanwhile, his movements will shoot up into the digital either from his personal device to be gradually rendered in full phallic glory by satellite technology.
Terry’s commitment to anatomical correctness will even see him double back and retrace his steps at two points on the journey, and he hopes to complete the run in 24 hours.
Although the resulting penis will exist only in the cloud, the 39-year-old hopes to have a real-world impact: £5,000 for Movember, a charity focused on men’s mental health, suicide, prostate and testicular cancer.
He believes the stunt will help get the attention of his ‘target demographic’ and that most men will find it ‘hilarious’.
‘That’s why it’s a big manhood because, especially for the target demographic that I’m aiming at, men never grow up,’ he explained.
‘They find this stuff hilarious no matter how old they are.
‘I don’t want to offend anyone with the shape, but it was just to get their attention.’
Terry’s would be the world’s biggest GPS-drawn penis to have been achieved on foot, though the largest ever is believed to have been mapped out by a trio of Polish cyclists.
The three friends, named only as Marcin, Maciek and Mariusz, completed a 657-mile penis-shaped route over swathes of Polish countryside in 2017.
They had no overarching goal such as fundraising though, Marcin told Don’t Panic magazine they simply wanted to do something ‘childish’ and ‘thoughtless’.
Terry, a marketing executive, hopes people struggling with mental health issues to find ‘grand goals that are bigger than yourself’.
