“150 consecutive marathons. A Guinness record. From the highest part of mainland Australia to the lowest.” These are the words of the Australian Erchana Murray-Bartlett, who has as goal of setting a new world record for the most consecutive marathons ever run by a woman. Nothing more and nothing less than 150, and all for a good cause. For the moment, he has already beaten the 106 that the British Kate Jayden obtained in August 2022 when this December 3 had been 107 days since this adventure had begun.

On a hot August 20 morning, Murray-Bartlett started running from Cape York (Australia) and intends to run as far as Melbourne (‘the toe’ of Australia, hence the name of its fundraiser and this great long-distance race: in English “tiptoe 2022“). At the moment he has already covered 4,853 kilometers and 115 marathons, and although there are still 1,477 kilometers to goneither rain nor humidity nor heat will stop her until she reaches her 150th marathon, she says in an interview with a Canadian media.

After more than 110 days of operation, Erchana admits that physical and mental problems are already playing tricks on her, but her spirit is stronger and has his eyes glued to his goal. “Para ser sincera, estoy agotada. Me duelen las caderas, los pies, las piernas y la espalda. También me siento un poco agotada emocionalmente; ahora el reto es seguir adelante, y estoy emocionada por ver lo que mi cuerpo puede hacer”, account.

Murray-Bartlett is 32 years old and has plenty of running experience, having been an elite athlete for a decade. And this adventure of setting a new world record for consecutive marathons is not made to boost his ego, but for a charitable cause.: raise funds to save endangered animals. “I love Australia’s native animals. I think they are incredibly unique. We currently have nearly 500 native animals on the endangered species list. That number has increased by eight percent since 2016 and c I run for them”. Will he finally achieve his goal?
