A man from England has become the fastest man to run around the world covering 16,300 miles in 621 days.

Kevin Carr finished the epic challenge when he made it back to his starting point on Dartmoor in Devon.

The 34-year-old said that it was hard but he made it and so he had no words to explain his feelings.

Carr wore down 16 pairs of trainers on his journey which took him eastwards in and out of 26 countries as he crossed continents from coast to coast.

The UK barman beat the world record by about 24 hours.

His achievement was all the more remarkable because he was the first without a support team.
