12 guys just ran 261.75 miles on a treadmill over a 24 hour period -
that translates to 5:30 pace over the 24 hours. That is one long,
boring run......

Actually, it sounds like lots of short, boring runs:

Agreed and it was - although not really boring just hard as you were
going all out for each run
the hardest part was staying loose between runs and over the 24 hours.
Two guys pulled hamstrings
and couldn't run at their max nor did they run during the final two
hours. I doubt any of us will do it again.
