I followed this thread for about 3 days and then stopped. A few questions.
1) How may days did it take him?
2) Are you confident he ran the full distance?
3) Did he really raise $2.6 million and receive "widespread acclaim" and an "outpouring of support from athletes and celebrities across the country."
1.) It took him 12.5 days a good 301hours.
2) Absolutely not. At the end when he had to do only a partial master lap, the timing system showed 1005 miles. That tells me that they only timed when he went through the tent after he finished the master lap. All other laps where not really recorded. People on tiktok mentioned that sometimes he was in the wrong lap and there were a lot of lane violations as well. The whole set up was very prone to errors. Not to mention the illegal pacing often with two people at the same time. There is a reason why a real race needs 3 racers to be a official race. Here there were 10-20 people just working for that one runner. I am sure they looked the other way sometimes to make it work.
3) No idea but I guess the money was raised.
