Shiori Statter is one of three women who ran the Tokyo Backyard Ultra this past November.Shiori managed to clock up an impressive 100km, meaning she ran the backyard loop for 15 hours. Shiori is also a professional in the fitness industry. Shiori also takes on challenges such as starting the New Year with a 100km run around her block!
" The backyard ultra or last one standing is a form of ultramarathon race where competitors must consecutively run the distance of 6.706 kilometres (4.167 mi) in less than one hour, which is a pace of 100 miles per 24 hours. The race is over when only one runner remains to complete a lap. This runner is marked as the winner and only finisher, with all other runners receiving a "DNF" (Did Not Finish). The runner who completes the second-most laps in a race is often referred to as the "assist", in the sense that their effort is ultimately what determines how long the race is allowed to continue--there is no predefined end length or time in a backyard ultra, as long as multiple runners can complete each loop within an hour." ~ source Wikipedia.
