A Vancouver Island runner will begin a six-day odyssey on Sunday in a bid to break a Canadian running record that has stood for 129 years. Hughes hopes to circle a 400-metre running track in Duncan close to 2,200 times to exceed the previous record. Other people have tried to break the six-day run record in Canada. Hughes said Shepard will be one of several runners joining him as he attempts the record himself. Updates can also be found on his Instagram feed along with the Help Fill a Dream's social media pages.
