Breaking World Records!

As part of the Charlotte Running Club, Greg Shore and Chad Crockford took part in history-making this past weekend!  On March 26th and March 27th, the CRC set out to break the world record for the 5k x 100 person  relay!  And they did!


100 different [very fast] individuals took part in the all-night journey.  With a total run time of 30:56:49, the CRC now holds the Guinness Book of world records...by a lot!  With an average 5k time of just over 18:30 (5:58/mile pace!), it is confirmed that Charlotte and surrounding areas is home to some very fast runners.  CRC's time beats the previous record holders time of 37:12:54, set in December by the Florida Striders of Jacksonville, by almost 7 hours!!  


The relay started at 6 a.m. on Saturday at Providence Day School track.  Despite temperatures in the 30's, runners continued through Sunday afternoon.  The 100 runners ranged in age from 14 - 56 years old!  


One2Tri Racing teammate Greg Shore turned in a time of 17:28 (5:38/mile pace) and Chad Crockford turned in yet another incredible time of 16:54 (5:24/mile pace)!  Amazing, both of you, and congrats on being a part of history!
