Toon runs a half marathon barefoot and juggling

Not so special in itself, but it is if you know that he did it barefoot, while he was juggling. Good for a world record, and yes, sore feet too.

But why? Toon Witters, Nacht van Vlaanderen participant: “I had already asked myself that question. I was now mainly busy with walking in recent years. But before that I did a lot of circus techniques. And I thought it was time to combine It was very difficult to keep my focus then, but it is very nice that there is ambiance and support for you.”

To the hospital

Toon also did it barefoot. On the way, he often looks for the edge of the lawn. On his arrival he was advised by the Red Cross to have his feet checked at the hospital. “They were able to provide the first care, but they still advised me to go to the emergency department and I stayed there until three o’clock in the morning. I can walk again, I can also cycle with adapted footwear, but everything else is fine pretty good. I expected worse.”

Toon runs a total of 1 hour 53 minutes and 39 seconds over a distance of 21 kilometers. An impressive achievement that is also a world record. “Let’s hope it gets validated. And will there be another lunatic who will do this again very soon? I hope no one has the balls to try it. Let’s hope I will break the record for at least five years now to have.”
