The record so far
Ayyoub El Osrouti, listed as Ello Elosrouti in Last Soul coverage, combines unusually strong road speed with multi-day backyard endurance. He finished as the assist at the first Last Soul Ultra in 2025 after completing 66 yards, then returned in 2026 and reached the final three after at least 69 completed yards.
His road results add useful context to that endurance. World Athletics recorded a 1:11:16 half marathon in Düsseldorf in April 2026, while LADV lists a 33:02 10 km and a 2:47:44 Berlin Marathon. Last Soul coverage commonly identifies him as Ello or Ello Elosrouti, while federation and club records use Ayyoub El Osrouti.
