Saint-Germain-en-Laye: 45 hours of running on a treadmill against cystic fibrosis – Voltage

Breathe life into people with cystic fibrosis. This is what motivated Fabrice Pancrazi to accomplish his feat. Last Friday, he settled in front of the castle of Saint-Germain-en-Laye to run a treadmill run, a sporting challenge for the benefit of the association “Vaincre la cysticoviscidose”. His utra-trail ended Sunday September 27 afternoon around 3 p.m. In total, this 54-year-old inhabitant of Colombes traveled 160 km on a treadmill for 45 hours. He only allowed himself a few short hours of sleep. Fabrice has accomplished a real feat. It is the first time that such a performance has been achieved in the world.

Fabrice Pancrazi is not his first attempt. During confinement, he had already been talked about. He had run an ultra-trail of 163 km at home, with a course in his house and his garden. At the time, he had organized this operation for the benefit of the nursing staff. Fabrice is also an accomplished athlete. He has participated in many races such as the ultra-trail of Mont-Blanc or the “Diagonale des fous” in Reunion.

Fabrice’s performance is an opportunity to appeal for donations. This weekend took place the “Virades le l’espoir”. Many protests have been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic. More than ever, the generosity of the public is essential for research to progress. It is still possible to make donations on the site of “Beat cystic fibrosisA toll-free number is also available for one month: 0800 100 500.
