Man sets world record by running a 26-mile marathon backwards while juggling three balls

by Larra Morris

Joe Salter has recently set a RecordSetter world record by running a “26.20-mile marathon backwards in five hours, 51 minutes, 25 seconds while juggling three balls.” Joe completed this task at the Quad Cities Marathon on September 22, 2013 in Moline, Illinois.

In setting the record, Salter made two drops out of 62,460 total throws, but following RecordSetter rules, made no forward motion until picking up the dropped balls and continuing to juggle.
