104 Days, 2,700 Miles, and One Incredible Runner

The morning after this year’s Boston Marathon, some finishers slept in. Others ducked into cabs to catch flights back home, purple and blue race jackets zipped tight against the gusty rain. Meanwhile, in the gym on the fifth floor of the Sheraton Boston Hotel, one podium finisher took to the treadmill—and stayed there, for five and a half hours, running and walking another 26.2 miles. Jacky Hunt-Broersma, 46, might have crossed the line on Boylston Street the day before in 5:05:13, claiming third place among women in the Para Athletics division for runners with lower limb prostheses. But she won’t truly finish until this Saturday, April 30, when she completes her 104th marathon-distance run in as many days—breaking a world record, with a few extra days for good measure. Boston represented marathon number 92 in her quest, which began on January 17. As she racks up the miles—all 2,724.28 of them—Hunt-Broersma is raising money for Amputee Blade Runners, which provides prosthetics to other current and aspiring athletes.
