Running or walking 100 miles in one-go is an amazing accomplishment. Many people of today mistakenly believe that the 100-mile foot race began in 1974 in the Sierra Mountains of California. They are surprised to learn that more than 1,000 people had accomplished the sub-24-hour 100-miler on trails, roads, and tracks during the two centuries prior to 1974.
