Every year on my birthday, I run for as many hours as my age, something I call Big Birthday Bash. This 350 km run/hike was my birthday celebration for turning 35. I started at the University of Gothenburg on July 31st and finished at University of Oslo on August 5th. The target time at the start was to finish in 96 hours. However, due to relentless rain and storms, I was practically knocked out on the first day itself, and the remaining distance was an uphill, challenging slog. In total, it took me 130:39:00 hours to finish, which includes about 99.09 hours of moving time.
The journey was covered alone and entirely self-supported. I resupplied the food and water at the gas stations on the way. I stopped at two motels to sleep on second and third night, remaining nights I didn't sleep. The activity was tracked using a Garmin Fenix 6x watch and uploaded on Strava as two segments (links attached). For official tracking, RaceTracker.no in Norway tracked my journey (link attached).
