The 75,000 Mile Club

As Reported to the USRSA

December 31, 2009

A large number of streak runners (at least 44 that I have been able to confirm) have accumulated over 75,000 miles running in their lifetime. Here is an update of their total and streak mileage. Pat Foley got on the list since he sent in his data and will reach 75,000 shortly after this article gets published (as well as being a fellow Minnesotan). Those who have reached 100,000 miles have been put on a list going to Amby Burfoot, at Runner’s World, who has a blog of runners who have covered at least that much tundra in their lives. Herb has run more miles than any other person who has kept records that I am aware of.
