The 2023 IAU 24-Hour World Championships are happening in Taipei on December 1 and 2. You might say it's the Olympics of 24-hour running: It attracts many of the best runners in this discipline who race for their national team, and it's been four years since the last such championships.
The format and strategy are simple in 24-hour races. You go as far as you can in 24 hours while running on a looped course. But, to borrow from a literary classic from my childhood, 'it's too bad 'simple' and 'easy' don't mean the same thing.'
The races are bound to be exciting. At the 2019 event in Albi, France, Camille Herron set a new world record and Aleksandr Sorokin's winning result was also a Lithuanian national best.
