On the 21 st of June 2021 Philippe Richet(born 17 th September 1968) from Mont-de-Marsan in France ran across the Landes region in France in an incredible time of 11 hours 17 minutes and 48 seconds.
The 106 kilometre run began in Arthez d”Argmanac on the border with Gers on the west side of Landes at 05.50 and crossed the entire region heading east finishing on the Atlantic coast at the town of Contis at 17.05.
Philippe was accompanied on his record setting run by the children of the IME Lesperon, part of the Caminante association which specializes in the education of autistic children.
The children ran in relay with Philippe each taking part in stages to provide the much-needed motivation for Philippe on his endurance run.
They are the heroes that pushed Philippe to achieve his amazing feat and we would like to congratulate them as well as Philippe on their achievement.
