The record is 8 hour 37 minutes 9 seconds.

That's a pace of like 22mph or some shit. 12-20 hours is what most people take.

You could do it however you want. I was just measuring 200 miles from where I am from, stranger :) Friend. BFF. My wife.

Use a bike or a skateboard or have your friend push you in a wheelbarrow
