World runner Tim Franklin might become the next individual to have run around the world, by the rules set out by the WRA, and be inducted into the WRA. Whilst his run records are under ratification, we are saluting his efforts.
Tim has announced he has run 26,245km run in 576 days.
Tim started his run on 3rd December 2022 in Brisbane Australia.
He went on to run in a west-east direction across
- New Zealand,
- North America (San Francisco to New York),
- South America (Santiago to Buenos Aires),
- London,
- Europe (Lisbon to Constanta),
- South East Asia (Malaysia and Singapore),
- Australia (Perth to Brisbane).
Tim concluded his journey in Brisbane Australia on 30th June 2024, accompanied by thousands of supporters and well wishers.
The WRA has started the ratification process, to validate that Tim’s run has satisfied all the criteria of a run around the world through his documentation.
We await Tim’s data and GPS records to validate the attempt.
Phil Essam, WRA President
