2. Wikipedia : Multiday race category. "Multiday races are ultramarathon running events which are typically either
segmented into daily events of a specified distance or time, or staged so that runners can run as far as they want,
at their own discretion, over a set course or over a set number of days. Multiday races can range from continuous
48 hour track events to staged transcontinental treks."
"Very long endurance running events can be divided into three broad categories: the traditional 26.2-mile (42.2 km)
marathon, the ultramarathon, defined as any event longer than the marathon, and true multiday events, which begin
with the 48 hour event and can stretch out almost indefinitely, often ranging from six days to 3,000 miles (4,800 km)
or longer." Well known, popular & famous multi-day (multistage) races : Well-known multiday races sub-category.
