Alberta runner Dave Proctor attempting cross-Canada speed record
CALGARY — Dave Proctor will soon dip his white cowboy hat into the Pacific Ocean and start his quest to run to the Atlantic in record time.
Proctor intends to break the speed record for running across Canada, which is currently 72 days 10 hours set by Al Howie in 1991.
“My goal is 66 days,” Proctor told The Canadian Press. “I’m going to break the trans-Canadian speed record by six days.”
Proctor starts at dawn June 27 in Victoria.
