    Charlie Lawrence Ran 100K (62 Miles) at 5:51 Per Mile — Inside One of the Most Insane Endurance Performances Ever

    55m

    Charlie Lawrence isn’t a loud figure, but he’s one of the most dangerous endurance runners in the world. 


    He is a professional ultramarathon and marathon runner who owns the 50-mile world record, the 100k American record, and he’s an Olympic Trials qualifier.


    His 50-mile world record was run in an astonishing 4:48:21 in November of 2023. Most recently he set the American 100k record in December of 2025 at the Desert Solstice Track Invitational with a time of 6:07:10. He then lowered it in August of 2025 with the second-fastest 100k time in history with a 6:03:47 at the Adidas Chasing 100.


    He has a marathon PR of 2:16:10 from October of 2023 that qualified him for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials. He won the men’s title at the USATF 50k Road Championships in April of 2025, setting a course record with a time of 2:49:01. Charlie grew up in Foley, Minnesota, and was the son of two cross-country coaches; he ran collegiately at the University of Minnesota where he owned PRs of 14:29.11 in the 5,000m indoor, 9:31.88 in the 3,000m Steeplechase, and 30:25.60 in the 10,000m outdoor. 


    Charlie is a monster and he’s only 30 years old. His times are eye popping, and he’s here to give us some insight into what makes him a budding distance running legend.
