Megan Eckert Sets Women’s 6-Day Running World Records

Eszter Horanyi shares the massive records for iRunFar:

For six days and six nights, while most of us went about our daily lives, Megan Eckert and Ivan Zaborsky ran, and at the end of 144 hours of singular focus, they both emerged with new six-day world records. When the event ended at noon local time on Sunday, May 4, Eckert of the U.S. and Zaborsky of Russia had run 603.155 and 650.919 miles (970.685 and 1,047.554 kilometers), respectively, at the 2025 Six Days of France race, held in Vallon Pont d’Arc, France.

What’s worth pointing out here is the following:

Eckert broke Camille Herron’s previous record…

As is usual, both records are pending ratification.

We will wait and see… and maybe check Wikipedia.
