As part of the Brazil Ultra Tri, Beat Knechtle has broken the barrier of 400 marathons. This was reason enough for Christian Marti, the statistician of the 100 Marathon Club Switzerland, to personally deliver gifts. In addition to the official certificate and the pennant for the achievement, there were 100 cm beavers for the last 100 marathons.
As the best Swiss, Christian Marti (71) has already run more than 540 marathons. Beat Knechtle is second behind him. The Indian Pandian Sivabalan is ahead of the two Swiss with over 660 marathons.
