Harvey Lewis has won Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra — one of the most impressive athletic accomplishments ever.
Here's how it works:
Competitors run a 4.16-mile (6.7km) loop every hour over hilly terrain.
If they complete their lap in under an hour, they can use the remaining time to eat, drink, sleep, and recover.
However, they must begin the next loop at the start of the next hour — and keep repeating this until they can't continue any longer.
The race has no set end and finishes when only one person is left able to run, the rest having pulled out through exhaustion injury, or lack of sleep.
But here's the craziest part...
This year's race went on for 108 hours.
That means Harvey Lewis ran 4 miles...every hour...for nearly FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS.
• 108 hours of running
• 450 miles covered
• New World Record
At one point he was taking 60-second naps before starting his next lap!
That's absolutely insane.

I love statistics. Could I get this plotted or normalized against number of PCR tests performed during each wave? Given the number of testing labs now vs then, inaccuracies of PCR testing, demand for tests by employers etc, this is fairly meaningless. What am I missing?
Once again, spectators, destroying months of hard work. We love the fans but not the ones who put up signs in the front of the peloton and don't realise the consequences of their actions. Hope the guys are OK #TDF2021
This is a real 100-TRILLION-dollar bill. I had it framed years ago to remind me of how quickly “money” can change in value. Zimbabwean dollars in 2008 = US dollars in 2040? Probably not, but lookin...: https://t.co/G6qXikRlhH
Every health official knows physical and mental health are key to staying well. Working out in gyms isn’t a luxury, gym owners have safety precautions in place.
Gyms are an essential service. #OpenTheGyms
Selling weed literally went from major felony to essential business (open during pandemic) in much of America & yet many are still in prison. Doesn’t make sense, isn’t right.
