Across The Years is only ten days away, and with it the return of the six day event. \u00a0ATY has only hosted a six day one other year, back in 1999 to bring in the new millennium. \u00a0Similarly, this year’s six day is returning in grand form, with a world-class field and prize money to match.<\/p>\n

The legendary Yiannis Kouros is the recent addition to this year’s field, returning to competition in the United States for the first time since Across The Years eight years ago. \u00a0Kouros needs no introduction, and will be attempting to break a number of world records. \u00a0In that vein, this year will offer prize money to push Yiannis and the competition to record-breaking performances:<\/p>\n

First to 400 Miles: $250<\/div>\n
First to 500\u00a0Miles: $500<\/div>\n
First to 600 Miles: $1000<\/div>\n
269.114 Miles in 48 Hours (World Road Record): $1000<\/div>\n
1000 KM in 5d.20:13:39 (World Road Record): $1000<\/div>\n
639 Miles in 6 Days (World Road Record): $2000<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Not to be underestimated, Kouros has much to watch out for with strong multiday runners Joe Fejes and William Sichel on his heels. \u00a0Fejes ran 329 miles in 72 hours at last year’s event, and Sichel has a strong six day record with a personal best of\u00a0532.559 miles. \u00a0There are several more strong runners yet to be tested at six\u00a0days waiting to see what they can do, including several in the women’s field.<\/div>\n
