MAN RUNNING THROUGH SANTA ANA, CA TO BREAK COAST-TO-COAST WORLD RECORD

Santa Ana, CA — Ultrarunner Adam Kimble, 29, races to break a 36-year-old Guinness World Record for the Fastest Crossing of America (USA), on foot, by a male. On February 15, 2016, Kimble will run the Santa Ana River Trail, through Santa Ana, CA, on his 3,030 mile cross-country route. He runs to break the current record of 46 days, eight hours, and 36 minutes in just 45 days.

Kimble attempts to break the record for three reasons: First, “To inspire people to pursue their passions…accomplishing things they never thought they could do. [Second,] to push the limits of my mind and body,” and third, to raise awareness for impossible2Possible: an organization working to “empower our next generation…to push beyond their perceived limits, and achieve the impossible.”

Kimble hopes to break the current record in 45 days by running, jogging, and power-walking at a 13-minute-mile pace. He will average running 69 miles per day, traveling through 14 states, from Huntington Beach, CA on February 15, 2016 to his completion in Times Square, New York City on March 29, 2016.
