Ultra Ultra Marathon

Think you know the record for the longest running race?  
In 1929, long before running even became popular in this country, race participants ran from New York City, NY, to Los Angeles, CA, a distance of 3,635 miles. Johnny Salo of Finland won in 79 days, with a time of 525 hours, 57 minutes, and 20 seconds. Second place was captured by Pietro “Peter” Gavuzzi of the United Kingdom, with a time of 526 hours and 7 seconds, an unbelievably close finish.

Are those runners crazy or what?
