Tyler Andrews sets new 50k World Record on a Track, that’s 125 laps

Tyler Andrews, 27, ran a world all-time best for 125 laps (50k) on the track at the HOKA ONE ONE Santa Barbara Elite 50K in California, clocking 2 hours, 46 minutes, 6.8 seconds at Santa Barbara City College’s La Playa Stadium on Friday. His performance eclipsed the 1980 global track standard for 31.1 miles of 2:48:06 produced by Great Britain’s Jeff Norman and fell just short of the overall 50K world record of 2:43:38 established in a road race in 1988 by South Africa’s Thompson Magawana. “We’re not done. We’ll come back for it, for sure,” said Andrews, who remained under overall world-record pace through 35K with a split of 1:54:19.9. (04/13/2018) Views: 1,529 ⚡AMP
