Aleksandr Sorokin of Lithuania has obliterated the world 24hr running record in Poland with 309.4km run in one day. 

The 2019 24hr World Champion went past Yiannis Kouros’ 1997 world record of 303.3km with 33 minutes of running remaining. The live results give a total of 308.8km, with 23:55:26 on the clock, so it is highly likely that Sorokin surpassed 309km before the day was out. (Final total was 309.4km)

On the back of setting a 100 mile world best of 11:14:56 in April this year, then continuing his run for another 45 minutes to set a 12 hour mark of 170.309km, the 24hr running world knew the the day records his next target.

Running some controlled at the Centurion Track 100 event in Ashford, Kent in the UK, it felt like the 300km mark could be troubled, but no one predicted such a huge distance, except maybe the smiling casino worker from Vilnius himself.

Changing the game for everyone

At the UltraPark weekend in Poland, both Sorokin and second placed Andrii Tkachuk of Ukraine were on world record pace for most of the day. It seems the Ukrainian will have to settle for less than 300km with ~296km (the live timings only give complete laps), which is still one of the best 24hr results of all time and a National record.

The tarmac loop in a park in Bieg, Poland, saw perfect weather conditions and a race between two world class competitors bring the best out of each other.

Over the last six years Sorokin has worked his way to the top of the international 24hr game, with his fast starting, never-say-die attitude and in more recent years it started to pay dividends. 2019 was his breakout performance with 278.972km at Albi, France to take the world championship.

Last year in August, at the same UltraPark event in Poland, Sorokin ran an excellent 6:43:13 for 100km. It seemed that the 100 mile record would be under threat in early 2021 at the Centurion Running event.
