Today was a common fall day with cloudy skies and a few drops of rain within the afternoon and then early evening. Then much more rain came down and the sun disappeared, but the fall temps kept the runners to pick up the pace. Andrea Marcato led the way with a 67.5-mile day. In the middle afternoon, Andrea passed the 1,800 miles mark (24:08:40:15) which was one of his best. Just 25 minutes later he passed the 2900 km mark-(24:09:05:19). Annabel Hepworth reached the halfway mark - (24:12:52:16) (video). A few hours later Annabel reached the 2500 km mark (24:15:46:58). Nina- Huang-Lan Yang reached the 1000 Mile mark in 24:12:30:25. Another fun evening was filled by Lo Wei-Ming, as he passed the 1700 mile mark in 24:16:23:32.
