An incredible display of endurance athletics was the clear winner of our fan vote last week.
Maria Conceicao of Portugal quite literally ran away with the honours after receiving 66 per cent of the vote for her record for Fastest time to run an ultra marathon on each continent (female).
Every Friday here, we pick five records recently approved by our expert Records Management Team. We'll give you a little background on each and then ask you to vote for your favourite. The winners from each week, like Maria, will be entered into an end-of-year bracket to determine the Fan Choice record of the year.
