3 Japanese men run 13,000km from Paris to Tokyo... For what?

[UrbanPoet]

3 guys ran from paris to tokyo to thank the world for their support during that big earthquake.

You're welcome and you're awesome! 13,000km at 40km/day resting only once a week is beastly.

"The three, who ended their run of thanks at Tokyo International Forum, are Kenichi Hatori, 71, his son, Akihito, 28, and Takenobu Sugama, 50, all from the city of Sukagawa."
Damn they old.... 71, 50, and the youngest is 28.... Wow.

Wow!! We can learn a thing or two about gratitude from these three people. Well done!

Wake me up when they do at least 20,000km.

A 71 year old guy ran 13,000km? He must be doping! Gotta be.

[Simaahoy]

Very nice :P Once in a lifetime chance

[aplayaz2000]

like what Forrest said

[Jimboski]

[Junigenmukyoku]

This guy (http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/02/05/marathon.record.engels.365/index.html) did a marathon every day for 365 days. Still those Japanese men are awesome.

[ronin1701]

Man, and I thought Ranulph Fiennes' "7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days" was impressive.

[ovechkin1]

unimpressed probably drove half the way in their support vehicle

These guys almost did that. Basically a marathon 6 of 7 days for around a year. Just nuts
