Treadathalon: 154 miles in 24 hours

In an attempt to break the Guinness world record for the longest distance run on a treadmill in 24 hours, Christopher Bergland & Dean Karnazes are running side by side at Kiehl’s Flagship Store in Manhattan (109 3rd Ave in the East Village), from April 28th at 8AM until April 29th at 8AM. In full view of the public, both men seek to break the 24 hour treadmill distance record of 153.6 miles recently attained by Edit Berces in Budapest, Hungary.

In order to break the world record, Christopher and Dean will have to maintain an average speed of one mile per 9.4 minutes on the treadmill. Each runner will burn an estimated 1,000 calories per hour.

Crazy stuff. Don't know too much about Christopher Bergland (the winner), but I know that Dean Karnazes is famous for feats like this...

The story says that one dude DID fall off with 1/3 of a mile to go. He managed to pull himself together and get the record.
