UPDATED Ronnie Delzer, will attempt to break the record for “Greatest Distance Run in 12 Hours on a Treadmill” on Saturday, August 20, at Luke’s Locker in The Woodlands, Texas.
Delzer Sets Guinness World Record for a Treadmill Run
Last Saturday, The Woodlands' Ronnie Delzer, 34, broke the Guinness World Record for the furthest distance run on a treadmill in 12 hours. Ronnie logged a record 89.38 miles in 12 hours on the treadmill at Luke's Locker in The Woodlands.
The previous record of 86.49 miles was set on Memorial Day weekend by Canadian David Proctor. There was also a local connection to that run. Katy's Calum Neff ran on a treadmill as part of a 12 man team that set a record for the furthest distance in 24 hours by a male team.
