Tomorrow Thursday I plan to run from Jct13 near Deruyter to Sheds Then US13 towards De Ruyter, Cortland Dryden. I expect Dryden to be my finish location and then onto Itica.

Please come out and run with me

Any offer of a place to lay my sleeping bag much appreciated!

Any contacts for North Pennsylvania?? I will be there in a few days.

Tony,

How can I help? I live in Erieville, NY which is less than 10km from your route on route 26 (between Hamilton and Georgetown). Can I offer you a stay at our home? I would like to run a few, or more, miles with you. I am an avid marathoner and was informed of your amazing journey by some of the Utica-area ultra crazies!

I can pick you and nirvanna up, drop you off any time thus, fri, sat. I can provide supplies, whatever, however I can help!

How can we coordinate this?

Am spending a huge amount of time emailing and checking maps as people are not checking out my route page, please scroll down to USA page,. I was up till 2am last night working on the blog and answering emails many of the places I was already past! Hope to see you out there. Tony

I did check the route page first, but it’s pretty vague, just says that you will be hitting Elmira/Southport tomorrow.

About Tony

I have always considered myself to be an average runner. In school, I was even bullied for I was a sports wimp. Through hard work, dedication, perseverance, self-belief and a strong mind I succeeded in not only running around the world but breaking four ultra running world records during my competitive career. Having previously cycled around the world I didn't start running until I was almost 30. Then I had a dream of running around the world. For many reasons, I waited for over 20 years. One reason was to establish my pedigree as an endurance athlete. I started and finished my world run as the current World Record-Holder for 48 Hours Indoor Track 426 kilometres (265 miles), a record I have held since 2007. I also broke and still hold the World Record for 48 hours on a Treadmill 405 kilometres (251 miles) in 2008. When I retired from competition, more pleasing than any of my world, European or Irish records I had the respect of my fellow athletes from all over the world - in my opinion, sports greatest reward - an achievement I am most proud of. Then I finally put myself out to pasture, to live my ultimate dream to run around the world! This blog was written on the road while I struggled to find places to sleep and to recover from running an average of 43.3 kilometres or 27 miles per day for 1,165 road days. There were many nights I typed this blog on a smart phone, so fatigued my eyes closed. Many journalists and endurance athletes have referred to my world run as the most difficult endurance challenge ever attempted. During my expedition I rarely had any support vehicles, running mostly with a backpack. In the more desolate areas I pushed my gear, food and water in a cart which I called Nirvana, then I sent her on ahead to run with my backpack once again over altitudes of almost 5,000 metres in the Andes. I stayed in remote villages where many people had never seen a white person before. I literally met the most wonderful people of this world in their own backyard and share many of those amazing experiences in this blog. My run around the world took 4 years. There were no short cuts, I ran every single metre on the road while seeking out the most comprehensive route across 41 countries, 5 continents, I used 50 pair of running shoes and my final footstep of the run was exactly 50,000 kilometres, (almost 31,000 miles) I eventually finished this tongue in cheek named world jog where I started, at the finish line of my city marathon. I started my global run with the Dublin Marathon on October 25th 2010 and finished with the Dublin Marathon on October 27th 2014 at 3 05pm! Thank you for your support, I hope you can share my unique way of seeing the world, the ultimate endurance challenge! Read more...
