Ultra runner Karel Sabbe racked up another astonishing feat this weekend as he set a new FKT on New Zealand's Te Araroa (TA) trail.
The Belgian dentist announced on Instagram that he had run the 1,897-mile trail (that's 3,054k) which traverses the entire length of both the North and South Islands in just 31 days, 19 hours and 40 minutes. That's an eye-watering 17.5 days faster than the previous record, set by the UK's George Henderson in 2020.
