103 Hours
226 miles. Walking. Allie Comeau at Sierra Blogging Post.
Could you walk for 103 hours straight without stopping to sleep? Three people from Colorado just did.

Ultrawalkers Ulrich Kamm, 60, of Littleton, Debbie Richmeier, 47, of Wheat Ridge, and Glen Turner, 48, of Louisville, broke the world Endurathon record by walking for 103 straight hours last week.

Competing with thirteen other ultrawalkers, in one of many Endurathons happening around the world, the trio started walking Friday, May 30th, at 5 p.m. They didn’t stop to sleep and took only short breaks to use the bathroom. Tuesday at midnight, they were the only ones left standing.
