Charlie Lawrence enters into the history books, after setting the 50-mile world record at 4:48:21 (to be confirmed) at the Tunnel Hill 50 Mile in Vienna, Illinois, on November 11, 2023.
According to the live results, Lawrence opened with a conservative few splits, passing the timing mat a little after 10 miles at a 5:50 average pace, whereas faster than 5:48 pace was needed to surpass the prior world record.
The Tunnel Hill 50 Mile takes place as a double out-and-back on the Tunnel Hill State Trail, a dirt, rails-to-trails trail. The course is a USATF-certified course. Also, the International Association of Ultrarunners now considers and governs the 50-mile distance for world records, as of January 2022.
