Ayyoub 'Ello' El Osrouti has drawn international attention after running roughly 623km over 93 hours at Germany's Last Soul Ultra in August 2026.

The German ultrarunner completed 93 consecutive 6.7km loops in the backyard ultra race before his legs gave out on the 94th. Although he was officially recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish) for failing to complete that final loop, his 93-loop effort secured second place behind American Mark Dowdle and marked a major breakthrough in his ultra-running career.
