Hunt-Broersma’s husband filmed the end of her one-woman race, and she was talking to him up until she was done. “Do you know how to stand still on the ground without moving your legs” he asked. “Nope!” she replied.
Hilariously, she stopped the timer on her watch before she stopped her treadmill once she hit 100 miles. “Stop that thing! Get off, get off,” her husband said. Hunt-Broersma then turned to the camera and thanked everyone who watched and supported her.

Afterward, Hunt-Broersma shared a photo of herself sitting on her treadmill and looking remarkably chill for someone who just spent nearly a full day and night running on Instagram.
“I did it!! 100 miles in 23hr 38 on a treadmill,” she wrote in the caption. “This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I look a little tired in this photo🤣. Everything hurts, my stump is bruised and full of blisters and I will be doing a shuffle for a while, hahaha, but it was so worth it.”
In her post, Hunt-Broersma thanked people who cheered her on online, as well as her friends who cheered her on from her porch.
“A few of you asked if the treadmill switched off after a certain time, and I’m happy to report the one I have didn’t," she said. “It kept going for the entire time. It does have a few extra squeaks now though🤣🤣.”
Hunt-Broersma also wrote in a prerun post that she planned to keep on running, except for “aid station refueling” and trips to the bathroom.
“Originally the plan was to run laps in the neighborhood, but with social distancing and the neighborhood busy with walkers I was going to find it hard to avoid people, so I’ve decided to run the full 100 miles on the treadmill😱,” she wrote. “I will be the first amputee to ever run a 100 miles on a treadmill nonstop. I must be crazy🤣.”
Now, Hunt-Broersma said she’s “having the biggest glass of wine tonight to celebrate.”
