Trans America Run


The Trans America Run, also known as the TransAm, is the approximately 3000-mile coast-to-coast foot race across the United States. TransAm has historically been run from California to New York, starting at San Francisco City Hall and ending at New York City Hall, though some runners have completed a variation starting in Los Angeles. The world record for the TransAm was set in October 2016 by Pete Kostelnick who finished in 42 days, 6 hours, and 30 minutes.
