After setting a new mark in the Guinness Book of World Records last year, running 185.5 km over a 24-hour period while simultaneously pushing people with reduced mobility, Sébastien Roulier is doing it all over again, this time with his mind set on hitting over 200 km.
The Sherbrooke pediatrician and ultramarathon runner has been keeping his body busy for several years through long-distance, endurance challenges, including the Avançons tous en cœur event for Moisson Estrie. And he is set to return to Lac des Nations on Sept. 24 and 25.
The 24-hour challenge is in support of Sherbrooke Shared Runs, an organization that meets once a week to connect runners and people with reduced mobility. It is also meant to promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities, according to a press release sent out last week.
