Aleksandr Sorokin Smashes 24-Hour World Record With 198.6 Mile/319.6 Kilometer Run
Lithuania’s Aleksandr Sorokin sets a new 24-hour world record of 198.6 miles (319.6 kilometers) on September 17-18, 2022 in Verona, Italy, at the IAU 24-Hour European Championships.
319.614 kilometers. That’s 198.599 miles. In one day. Running.
That’s just what Lithuania’s Aleksandr Sorokin did in setting a new 24-hour world record of 319.614 kilometers/198.599 miles at the 2022 IAU 24-Hour European Championships in Verona, Italy, on September 17 and 18. That’s 7:15 per mile or 4:30 per kilometer for 24 straight hours.
Previously, on August 28 and 29, 2021, Sorokin broke Yiannis Kouros’s “unbreakable” 24-hour world record of 188.590 miles/303.506 kilometers by nearly six kilometers with a distance of 192.251 miles/309.399 kilometers. (Post-2021 24-hour world record interview.) Just over a year later this weekend, he broke his own record by more than 10 kilometers, running 198.599 miles (319.614 kilometers).
