Sarah's Long Run

This book shares highlights from Sarah Covington Fulcher's two Guinness World Records running events. Chapter Two shares her account of being the first woman to run across Australia running a marathon every day for 96 days from Bondi Beach NSW to the western suburbs of Perth beginning September 22 and ending December 26, 1986. The main feature of this book is Sarah's other world record of the longest continuous solo run of 11,134 miles around the perimeter of the United States through 34 states and Washington, DC running an average of a marathon every day for 438 consecutive days beginning on July 21, 1987 in Laguna Hills, CA and ending on October 2, 1988 in Los Angeles, CA. Both world records were recognized by the US Congress and in 2011, the Run Around America was memorialized by Ripley's Believe It Or Not!
