Canadian Bernadette Benson has just set a new record as the fastest person ever to run the 1000km Bibbulmun Track which stretches from Kalamunda to Albany in south-west Australia. She ran for 14½ hours a day, covering an average daily distance of 65km, to finish in 15 days, nine hours and 48 minutes.
The 42-year-old Canadian ran for 14½ hours a day, covering an average daily distance of 65km, to finish in 15 days, nine hours and 48 minutes. This took almost a day off the previous record of 16 days, eight hours and 15 minutes held by Perth man Paul Madden. Benson, who completed the track with the help of her husband Rolf following in a car, said she rested for between four and six hours a night and ate more than 5000 calories a day.
