Relatedly, see Big's Backyard Ultra[0]: runners run a 4-mile loop, on the hour, every hour, 24 hours a day, until only one runner completes a loop that nobody else does. In 2011, when it started, the winner did 18 laps. In 2023, the winner completed 108 laps!

Reminds me of an awesome documentary about The Barkley Marathons called "The Barkley Marathons: The Race that Eats its Young". People are incredible!

Guess who came up with the idea of the Backyard Ultra? The Barkley race director.

We are 2024 and it stands at 110 laps, by a belgian team!
