Christian McEvoy recently completed his run across America on December 16. He raised well over $200,000 on his way to $1,000,000 to benefit cancer survivors and patients. Christian is the 173rd person to cross America and around the 25th supported journey runner. His is the 199th overall crossing which includes walkers, hikers, stilters, crutchers, and handers as well. He covered 3400.6 miles for an average of just over 20 miles a day.

This will surely be the most publicised trans-continental crossing ever. Just in case you’re not up to date on Dean, he has a new blog courtesy of Runners World and modern technology that can show exactly where Dean is when he’s on the road. Currently 171.9 miles from New York on his journey and meeting all sorts of kind folk, Dean has a fairly serious challenge in front of him as it’s not the best time of year to attempt such a journey.

DAY 53
Miles:To be determined
Weather: 56 degrees, rain

Today is the most liberating, terrifying, exciting, and confusing day of my life. I am walking out of a hotel room in New York City, and running west. Why west? Because that is the direction of my house in San Francisco. Yes, I am running home from the New York City Marathon, the final marathon of the Endurance 50, across the country back to my house.

What is my plan? I really don’t have one. There is no script here. It will be kind of like reality TV, only this is not TV. I’m not sure of the route I’ll follow, I’m not sure where I’ll stay, I’m not sure how long it will take. All I know is that my heart is telling me this is the right thing to do.

First off, a big congratulations to Paul Staso and PACE Run 2006 for becoming the 7th runner in unsupported fashion to cross the country (162nd male, 172 overall including walkers, hikers, stilters, crutchers, and handers). He finished on 10/20/06 at 11:00AM ET, covering 3,260 miles over 118.94 days (started on 6/23/06 at 9:30AM PT). Additional photos, journal entries, and post run thoughts can be found at http://www.pacerun.com

Steve Bethune, the 25 year old running from Ocean to Ocean has transitioned his run across America into a trans-con duathlon. Injuries forced the Californian to take up biking at the end of October. Changing tires, saddle soreness, and shoe problems all need to be ironed out as he continues his adventure toward San Jose, CA. He is projected to be near the Four Corners area today where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico all meet up. Steve is still raising money for the American Heart Association and you can check on his progress at http://www.aheartinmotion.com

Coast to Coast runner, Christian McEvoy is still going strong and is in the South Bend, IN area of the country. With a little over a month to go, finishing in Rhode Island, Christian continues to put up big mileage days with well-needed rest days built in. With a total mileage of 3513.7, this run is one of the top 15 longest of all time. Christian is 2/3 of the way done and continues to raise money to benefit cancer patients and survivors. The team has raised over $150,000 already and $200,000 is not out of the question by the time he is done. Blogs and photos are updated often and you can follow along at http://coasttocoastrun.org

Yesterday, I received an email from Brian Stark, cross country trail runner, who used the American Discovery Trail in 1998 as his route. He is a teacher in Arizona now and provided some additional information to my database. He wrote a book on his adventure (as many trans-con folks do) and you find more info here: http://www.gettingtothepoint.net

And last but not least, I was tipped off last night about a new transcontinental runner who started today. I confirmed this on his blog and am very interested on the impending details. Dean Karnazes completed his 50-50-50 on 11/5 at the NYC marathon as we all know. Well, he ran 28.5 on 11/6 and another 26.2 on 11/7. Today, Dean left NYC and will be running west to his home in San Francisco. More details will be on his main website, http://www.ultramarathonman.com and you can read about the announcement on his blog, http://enduranceis.typepad.com
