Dombivali Man runs 2,583 km in 61 days, breaks Guinness record By The Free Press Journal
Earlier in May-June 2022, Mr Krishnaswamy created a world record in attempting a barefoot half-marathon for 21 consecutive days. Speaking about his inspiration, he told FPJ, “When I first heard about the inspiring story of Terry Fox – the first amputee to complete the New York City Marathon – I too took to the roads and started running in 2017 at the age of 24. I have made many records like securing 2nd place in the 72-hour and 300km endurance run in Bengaluru, 2nd place in the Hennur Bamboo Ultra 220km run and third place in 161km Pune Ultra Marathon.”
Mr Krishnaswamy now has his sight set on representing India in the Ultra Barefoot Run.
