Megan Eckert entered the 6-day EMU-GOMU World Championships in Balatonfüred (Hungary), with the goal of breaking her world record for 6 days and the American record held by Joe Fejes.
After 144 hours of racing on a 0.8982-kilometre loop, she hits both targets by running 1,024.319 km, establishing a new women’s world record for 6 days for the second time in her career.
The text also states that the goal was achieved by maintaining an average speed of 7.113 km/h over six days, including her stops to sleep, eat, and manage the logistics.
At the same event, the race is held on a fully tarmacked, flat circuit, while the performance is announced as pending ratification by the IAU.
