Mwanariadha wa Ultrarunner Katie Spotz ajiandaa kwa 11 mfululizo 50Ks katika jaribio la rekodi ya dunia

Spotz anatafuta kuvunja rekodi ya ultramarathons nyingi mfululizo wakati anakimbia katika jimbo la Ohio

In 2020, American ultra-endurance athlete Katie Spotz became the first person to run across the state of Maine in one shot, covering the 220K journey in 33 hours, 46 minutes. She is currently tackling another ultrarunning challenge, this time in her home state of Ohio, which she will cross entirely on the Ohio to Erie Trail as she attempts to break the women’s world record for most consecutive ultramarathons. The current record stands at 10, and Spotz is looking to run 11, making the challenge 550K in length. Like last year’s event (and her previous ultra projects), she’s using this world record attempt to raise money for clean water initiatives, and she is working with an organization called H2O for Life. Spotz kicked her challenge off on Monday, and she hopes to break the world record on July 1.
