Overview

• The competition begins Friday at 12:00 local time on a 6.706-kilometre forest loop that must be completed every hour or the runner is eliminated.
• One hundred entrants are confirmed, and the event has no fixed finish, ending only when a single athlete remains.
• Schürrle is organizing the event alongside running influencer Kim Gottwald.
• He describes the appeal as testing the moment when the mind keeps going after the body wants to stop.
• The format aligns with backyard ultras highlighted by Phil Gore’s June record of 119 laps, about 798 kilometres, over nearly five days.
