TikToker ugh_madison has gone viral yet again for running a full marathon in Costco during an 11-hour duration.

TikToker Madison, also known by her handle ugh_madison, often goes into restaurants and stores for hours on end. 

Whether she’s kicked out or leaves by closing, Madison makes sure to put all her effort into her goal for the day. That could mean that she stays at a buffet for over eight hours or cleans a Taco Bell bathroom until employees throw her out.

Recently, though, Madison went to Costco with hopes of staying from open to close. Not only that, but she wanted to use the large store as a gym. 

Despite some awkward stares and an employee asking her if she was ok, Madison more than succeeded, having run a full marathon by the end of her time at Costco.

Going into Costco, Madison was unsure if she’d be given the chance to stay as long as she wanted, but she knew she wanted to achieve one thing and one thing only, “to be the first person in history to do a marathon at Costco.”

As she ran up and down aisles, Madison took plenty of breaks to enjoy the free snack samples throughout the store.

She also saved money by choosing to workout at Costco, as only two months of her gym membership is more expensive than a year’s membership at Costco.

By the time Costco closed, Madison had worked out for nine hours and ran/walked over 19 miles. However, she wasn’t at her marathon mark so she went outside and ran circles around Costco until she finally reached over 26 miles. This put her at the 11-hour mark for time spent working out at Costco.

Viewers of Madison’s viral TikTok have since reacted to her determination, “You’re a living inspiration,” and, “You’re the most impressive TikToker out there.”

Fortunately, Madison was never kicked out, so she’ll be able to use her Costco membership to workout until it expires in 2025.
