Project165.com

The previous record Project was Project 60@60 which was completed in November 2012

Project165.com was launched on October 1st 2013, William’s 60th birthday.

“William’s aim is to have set 165 ultra distance records before his 65th birthday on October 1st 2018.”

On November 22nd 2015 William completed the Bislett Indoor Endurance Festival 48 Hour race with 21 records, thereby surpassing his Project165 target almost 3 years early at the age of 62.

A new record total project will be announced inearly 2017.

William’s Criteria

William has originated this project himself and has therefore produced his own criteria, largely continuing with those used in Project 60@60.  He wanted the distances/durations chosen to be the most popular and challenging ones.

He chose all the distances/durations recognised by the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) and in addition to this he chose some distances/durations where marks already existed so that there were records to go for.

Since the 1980’s there have been annual  3 day and 10 day races, so records at those durations will be included.  Andy Milroy (statistician) has also indicated that, for longer events, it is reasonable to claim records for units of 500 km and 500 miles on certified courses.

Records will be at World, British and Scottish level, including age groups,  in officially recognised races.  The IAAF only recognises performances on road, track and indoor courses, so for this Project165.com William will not be including event records or treadmill records.

All races will have been officially endorsed by the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) and/or the National Athletic Federation of the host country.

William’s record setting exploits will be independently adjudicated by Alan Young – IAAF Grade B Course Measurer and contributor to the Association of Road Racing Statisticians.
