For many casuals, running a single mile in under six minutes would be a PR.

For Aleksandr Sorokin, it meant a new world record. He just had to do it 60-some-odd times, without stopping for food, water or to use the restroom.

In 2023, the Lithuanian ran over 62 miles in a time of 6 hours, 5 minutes and 35 seconds, breaking his own 100-kilometer world record set the year before.

“Chasing 100”

Soon, Sorokin will attempt the feat again, with the goal of becoming the first person in history to run the distance in less than six hours.

Only he won’t be alone; he’ll be joined by four other Adidas athletes in a time trial the brand is calling Chasing 100, scheduled for August 26.

Fortunately for him, he’ll also have the might of the German sportswear giant behind him.
