Marathon Walk
In just a few hours, Vincentian long distance walker Earl Daniel will begin one of the most challenging events of his walking career.
Ole George as he’s affectionately called, is attempting to break the World record for continuous walking without sleep. That record of 5 days and 11 hours and is currently held by a British citizen. Ole George says he’s aiming for a 6 day record. He begins at Richmond from 5 o’clock this evening.
He intends to circle each village from Richmond en route to Kingstown, almost 400 miles.
Should he complete this feat, Daniel will earn his place in the Guinness Book of World Records. He says he wants to encourage Vincentian youths to think outside the box and become pioneers. He’s also aiming at putting St.Vincent and the Grenadines on the map, especially in the area of sports tourism

Hi Kami, Long distance walking? Okie dokie. Hope he attains his goal though. Do I detect a hint (just a hint) of laziness in somebody?
As you say though, better him than me.
