24小时狂奔270公里，美国超马选手卡米尔·赫伦再次刷新纪录
The 2019 IAU 24-Hour World Championships took place on 26th — 27th October in Albi, France. It was the biggest championship so far with recorded 45 Member Federation joined in the event. Camille Herron is from the USA. She ran about 270.116 km in the race, which was called the World Best Performance.
Already the world-record holder for the 24-hour fixed-time race, Herron bettered that by almost five miles. That’s a huge addition to what was already an incredible record.
Herron won the individual gold with 270.116km(167.84 miles), challenged the lead man for the first half of the race, and split 90 and 77 miles for the first and second half of the race. She’s now almost eight miles better than any other American woman, and finally beat most of the world’s best 24-hour runners over the last several years and set this world record in the race.
