CloseSamoa proudly hosted the first leg of the Chasing Yesterday Runners; an extraordinary event aimed at becoming the world’s first time-travel marathon challenge.
The four runners from the United Kingdom, who are survivors of childhood alcohol abuse, participated in a world-first double marathon that crossed the International Date Line. They began by running in Samoa and then instantly travelled “back in time” to American Samoa to run the same race again. This remarkable achievement not only showcases human endurance but also raises awareness for children affected by parental alcohol abuse.
