Locked In – 168
28 Marathons. 7 Days. Zero Sleep. One Mission.
Welcome to the Ultimate Human Performance Challenge
In September 2025, Claude Luis will attempt a world-first ultra-endurance feat: 28 full marathons in 7 days without sleep. That's one run, one ski (SkiErg), one row, and one cycle marathon every day totaling 1,180 kilometers over 168 continuous hours.
Hosted at The Locker Gym, Dubai's most advanced new fitness facility, this is more than a challenge it's a live scientific experiment in longevity, resilience, and peak human potential.
