American ultrarunner Camille Herron has set another world record.<\/p>\n
This time, Herron ran 560.33 miles (901.8km) to set a new women\u2019s six-day world record at the 2024 lululemon FURTHER event in La Quinta, California.<\/p>\n
The event ran March 6-12 to coincide with International Women\u2019s Day on March 8. New Zealand\u2019s\u00a0Sandra Barwick\u00a0set the previous record of 549.063 miles in Australia in 1990, a record that\u2019s stood for 34 years.<\/p>\n
Herron broke that record by more than 11 miles and also achieved at least 12 interim world records and milestones along the way. Her effort comes out to an average pace of at least 15:22 per mile over the entire six days. This includes hours of stopped time, which Herron used for sleeping, resting, eating, drinking, and more.<\/p>\n
The race was held on a 2.55-mile loop made up of largely dirt. Herron ran 220 laps.<\/p>\n
Here are the records, world bests, and other milestones that Herron hit en route. This was Herron\u2019s approximate record progression through the six days:<\/p>\n
