Answers:

Distance Runners?

I don't know if there is an official record for this.

Dean Karnazes has run 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleeping. See http://www.thenorthface.com/na/news/news...

Pam Reed was the first person to run over 300 miles without sleeping. Her time was slightly less than 80 hours. She also holds the 24 hour distance record. See
