A Chinese ultra-marathon runner has set an extraordinary world record after running 100 kilometres daily for 100 consecutive days.
He covered a total distance of 10,000 kilometres during the period, drawing international attention. Reports said Huang Zhenglong, also known as Long Shao, completed the feat between 6 December 2025 and 15 March 2026 in the southern Chinese city of Foshan.
The achievement is being regarded as one of the most demanding long-distance running challenges in recent years.
Running 100 kilometres every day for 100 days is considered a test far beyond ordinary human endurance, placing him as a strong contender for inclusion in the Guinness World Records.
Huang Zhenglong began preparations during the Covid-19 pandemic and later closed his business to devote himself fully to training.
Media reports said he maintained a year-long routine of daily running across China prior to the attempt.
He followed a structured training regime, gradually increasing daily distances to build physical endurance.
His preparation included strict attention to diet, recovery, and performance monitoring to withstand extreme physical strain.
During the 100-day challenge, he received support from a professional team, including medical experts and nutritionists, who closely monitored his condition to ensure the effort was completed safely.
