Day 49: Ashprihanal the Champion

Finnish legend Ashprihanal Aalto made race history again, becoming the first male to ever finish the 3100 mile race twelve times, trailing the immortal Suprabha Beckjord by only one finish. Mr. Aalto placed third this year but remained cheerful throughout the race. Today he ran 65.3 miles to reach the goal in 48 days+16:14:33. He is still the second fastest runner to ever attempt the world’s longest certified footrace, and has the most first places with seven. Pranjal Milovnik will finish on Sunday in the mid-afternoon. He has been a model of consistency and fears nothing that the race can throw at him. Good luck to all ultra runners….
