The 57-year-old’s new record also makes her the first American female to cover 300 miles in 72 hours.
Jennifer Russo broke the world record for the women's backyard ultra at the Capital Backyard Ultra in Lorton, Virginia.
A mom of three, the 57-year-old from New Richmond, Ohio, completed the multi-day race, which began on Saturday and finished with 74 laps of the course, totaling a whopping 311 miles. In therace format, runners must run one 4.167-mile loop, or yard, every hour until one runner is left. Russo’s new record makes her the first American female to cover 300 miles in 72 hours in any race format, a record that unfortunately won’t be ratified since the course was not USATF-certified.
Elsewhere in the competition, Canada’s Viktoria Brown of Ontario picked up the second-highest number of yards among the six female racers, with 49, finishing the race in the top six. She fell seven laps short of Amanda Nelson’s women’s Canadian backyard ultra record set in Rettert, Germany at the Race of Champions-Backyard Masters., which puts on multiple ultra and endurance races throughout the country.Laura Ratliff is a New York City-based writer, editor, and runner.
