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.

This federal grant will ensure that Hackensack’s Fire Department grows as the city continues to develop with new high-rises, hospitals, and more. A September 2022 report called for the City to consider increasing the Fire Department’s response capabilities.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

Along with the Hackensack Fire Department, I'm calling on the Hackensack City Council to reconsider their decision to turn down a $2.4 million federal grant we’ve clawed from Washington back to Jersey.

This will help us hire & pay 12 new firefighters to keep North Jersey safe!

It was an honor to represent the Belleville Professional Firefighters Association local 497, at the Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Colorado Springs. We honored one of our own, and 468 other #IAFF members who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy brothers and sisters!

Our FDNY members know too well what it means to make the ultimate sacrifice. 1st District Vice President James Slevin and I were glad to be alongside some of them at yesterday’s Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial. This brother- and sisterhood Never Forgets.
