Man celebrates birthday with 24-hour treadmill run

A man from the US state of Minnesota decided to celebrate his 30th birthday by running on a treadmill for 24 hours straight. B J Van Beusekom covered about 80 miles before he stopped running at noon on Tuesday. He promptly went to the nearest chair and rested his obviously stiff legs.


The 6-foot, 175-pound Van Beusekom took breaks only to use the restroom and change clothes.


He accomplished his unique birthday celebration at Athletic Performance Inc, a training center. e was him motivated by a disc jockey, a slumber party and a big screen television.


For the rest of his birthday, Van Beusekom says he just wants a nap and a massage.

Van Beusekom's effort also raised just over $3,000 for the American Lung Association.
