New-York : Serge crosses the finishing line at 7o’clock 57 minutes and 33 seconds. It’s a mad race, on Sunday morning, we were kicked off the highway, we had to make a sixty-kilometer detour, so close to the goal! Serge sticks to it to find the strenghth of running 25 hours non stop.
At last, we can see the Statue of Liberty, far away in the distance; it’s the final sprint. The record is broken: 52 days, 23 hours, 24 minutes which is 12 hours and 36 minutes less than Lee Shepard.
2857,1 miles (4597km) covered. We’ve made it. We are happy, sad and .. worn out.
