606 miles in six days: teacher Megan Eckert chases ultrarunning history – and a men’s record
Teacher and ultrarunner Megan Eckert is set to compete at the upcoming world championship, where she will attempt to surpass her own 144‑hour distance record. Over six days she aims to cover more than 600 miles, a distance that would also eclipse the current United States men’s mark for the same period. Her effort follows a career that began with a fear of a 5K.
