Doyle Carpenter ran 144 miles at a race in Georgia to set a new M80-84 48-hour record
At a 48-hour ultrarunning race called the Merrill’s Mile in Dahlonega, Ga., held from July 3 to 5, an 80-year-old athlete named Doyle Carpenter ran 144.56 miles (232 kilometres) to set a M80-84 age group 48-hour world record. Not only did he go farther than any 80-year-old before him, but Carpenter’s run was good enough for third place overall. Running 144 miles is an impressive for anyone, but Carpenter, who hails from Thorn Hill, Tenn., is no stranger to record-breaking and mind-boggling runs, and he has been running for longer than some of his competitors in the Merrill’s Mile have been alive.
