Lithuanian runner completes 8,000 km for centennial anniversary

Ardzijauskas, a fire-and-rescue officer by profession, embarked on his journey on Oct. 24 last year and ran across Senegal, Mauritania, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland. It took him 102 days to reach Lithuania.

The man covered two marathons every day: one in the morning and one in the evening, a total of over 80 km per day, both on roads and off-road conditions, also in the mountains.
