On Saturday, April 24, 2021, Lithuania’s Aleksandr Sorokin set new world records with a time of 11:14:56 for the 100-mile world record and a distance of 105.825 miles/170.309 kilometers for the 12-hour world record, at the Centurion Running Track 100 Mile in England. These are both world records for all surfaces, and are subject to confirmation.
