Marina Del Rey Woman Sets American Running Record

MARINA DEL REY, CA — A Marina del Rey woman just broke an American running record.

Marisa Lizak, 41, ran 243.5 Miles in 48 Hours this month and set an American women’s record, Runner's World reported. She beat the title by slightly more than a mile.

The pandemic changed Lizak's plans to return to Greece to run the Spartathlon, a 153-mile ultramarathon. So instead, Lizak made the move to run in Three Days at the Fair, a road race offered by NJ Trail Series. That's where she broke the record.

“I wanted to do something big,” Lizak told Runner’s World. “I was intrigued by the 48 and figured why not now? No expectations, don't have to worry about going fast. This year is already messed up, might as well go for it.”
