Budjargal Byambaa has had little time to recover from his win at the 48 hours World Championship. The Mongolian runner has put in another incredible performance at the 24-hour event at the Pawling Trail Running Festival.
The race follows a 1.7 mile (2.7 km) loop which includes 160 ft (49 metres) of height gain. The record stood at 93 miles.
Budjargal put in a determined run to win comfortably with 105 miles, taking the win and smashing the course record.
The 40-year-old has been vegan since January 2019, a move he made for reasons of health and athletic performance. He eats large amounts of fruit, and during this race only drank fruit juice.
