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. After taking the assist with 67 yards at the first Last Soul Ultra in 2025, he returned in 2026 and again reached the final two, completing 93 yards before he did not finish yard 94 behind winner Mark Dowdle.
El Osrouti finished yard 91 in 43:07 and ultimately reached approximately 623.1 km. His 93-yard total is provisionally the second-best performance by a German backyard athlete, behind Hendrik Boury’s 100-yard national record from 2025.
LADV lists El Osrouti as born in 1999. His Last Soul result would provisionally raise the published German M20s best from 45 to 93 yards, although the worldwide M20s best is 107. His road results add further context: 1:11:16 for the half marathon, 33:02 for 10 km and 2:47:44 at the Berlin Marathon.
