One Man. 45 Days. 3,030 Miles. One Record-Breaking Attempt.

Adam Kimble is a 29-year-old ultrarunner from Chicago, IL.   In February of 2016, Adam and his crew are going to embark on a journey to set the Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing of the USA on foot.  Through this endeavor, he hopes to do the following:

1. Inspire people all over the world to pursue their passions and trust in the call given to them, accomplishing things they never thought they could do.  Anything is possible with faith and hard work.

2. Push the limits of his mind and body, relentlessly giving everything he has to break a Guinness World Record that has stood for over 35 years.

3. Raise awareness for impossible2Possible (i2P) and the incredible things they are doing to educate and empower the next generation, so that they will not be afraid to push beyond their perceived limits and achieve the “impossible.”

Adam Kimble Run Across USA: Days 44 – 58

By |April 13th, 2016|

It’s crazy that these friends all met racing in the Gobi Desert in China and so many have traveled far distances from across the US to take Adam’s side for long miles together. His Gobi buds have become official trail angels. Adam completed 43 miles today with Mark's support totaling 2,323.2 with only 144 to go! The Atlantic is within reach, but we are realizing it won’t be an easy-breezing ending.

Adam Kimble’s Run Across USA – Day 2

By |February 17th, 2016|

Day 2 started out rough, but ended well! Adam went from Riverside, CA, to Cabazon, CA. He is dealing with tendinitis behind his knee, which cropped up late on Day 1 and was screaming after a steady climb at the start of Day 2. He completed 45 miles, 15 shy of the 60 planned for the day. He walked miles 3-38 and applied Kool 'N Fit pain relieving liquid at every pit stop to give his tendon the best chance of recovery and it appears to have paid off: Adam was able to run the final 7 miles on the day!

Adam Kimble’s Run Across USA – Day 3

By |February 18th, 2016|

Day 3 started strong. Adam went from Cabazon, CA to Mecca, CA. The tendinitis behind his knee was much improved and the course was relatively flat, with some rolling hills through wind farms near North Palm Springs. The route is a bit tricky from here to Phoenix as we are forced to find roads parallel to I-10, which is tricky to do in this part of the country!

Adam Kimble’s Run Across USA – Day 4

By |February 19th, 2016|

Adam's body continues to adjust to the mileage as he crosses an ever-changing landscape. Today's route was mostly along narrow roads and sandy access roads following I-10. We ran south of Joshua Tree National Park and are feeling blessed to experience the beauty of this part of the country. We knew before sunrise that we were going to have to fight for day 4.

Adam Kimble’s Run Across USA – Days 5-7

By |February 22nd, 2016|

The crew is quickly realizing the challenge of the planned route as we head further east in California. The desert is pretty isolated with sometimes only I-10 passing through the area. As a pedestrian, Adam can’t be on the interstate, and as a crew, it is illegal for us to stop on the interstate if it's not an emergency.
