World’s longest race in 1 block

The 3,100 mile long foot race is actually run on one city block of Jamaica, Queens New York. Yes I said a 3,100 mile race which is run in a circle around a one block route over and over again and will take 2 months to complete.

This is the 10th annual Self-Transcendence with 15 runners all competeting for a small plastic trophy and a t-shirt. So I guess they aren’t doing this to get rich or for the fame.
