QUIMA CASAS 6,751 KILOMETERS

6,751 kilometers are what Quima Casas has run, adding up the one hundred and sixty marathons she has done in her life. It would be the same as saying, if it were possible, that it would have covered the distance between Girona and New York; or she would have gone and returned three times from Barcelona to Cadiz. She would also have made the round trip from Lleida to Moscow; or in a straight line she would have gone from Tarragona to Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, where she would still need a small additional lap of seven hundred and forty kilometers to equal the figure explained.

Quima was born in Sant Martí Sacalm, although she lived in Sant Feliu de Pallarols. And despite being the eldest of four siblings, three girls and a boy, she has always been the girl at home. A girl, needless to say, restless.
