This was Day 2 of the Great World Race, a grueling test of mental and physical stamina in which participants vie to complete seven marathons in seven consecutive days on seven continents. Dan Little, the oldest competitor at age 82 and a Great World Race veteran, also dropped to the half, finishing with a time of 4:38:49. Little, who was entering his fourth Great World Race and fully expecting to be the oldest and slowest competitor, knew from experience what to expect. The pain changed her Great World Race into a simple goal: Every day, just finish. The inflatable Great World Race start-finish line, with flags from multiple countries lining the sides of the boardwalk, might have given it away.
