Japan's Miho Nakata jumped into the spotlight in the ultrarunning world on Saturday, December 2, setting the women's 24-hour world record of 167.995 miles (270.362 kilometers) at the 2023 IAU 24-Hour World Championships in Taipei.
Nakata averaged a pace of 8:55 minutes per mile (5:20 minutes per kilometer). To put it in perspective, after 24 hours of running, she beat the previous distance by a little over half a lap of a track, or 807 feet (246 meters).
