Arctic 1000
In the "totally unrelated to technology" category...
Roman Dial, Ryan Jordan, and Jason Geck plan to hike 600 miles (1000 Kilometers) in three weeks with no resupply, no hunting, and in the most remote location in the US. Quick! Do the math!
Yes, you're right, that's roughly 30 miles a day.
I did 20 miles in the Mt. Rainier wilderness in one day once. The next day, I was barely able to walk. Granted, I wasn't in very good shape and I was carrying more than I should have. (Pre-Ultralight days). These guys are doing it for 21 days straight, without trails.
Ryan Jordan is one of the most authoritative and staunch allies of ultralight principles and regularly reports on 30+ mile hiking days. Roman Dial and Jason Geck are two well established wilderness athletes having participated in some of the most grueling adventure races in the world.
Yet still, what they're doing is absolutely incredible. Take a look at how far they're going.
Super Bowl, World Cup, World Series, Quidditch World Cup move over!
This is sport!
