Locked In – 168

Locked In – 168 

7 Days. Zero Sleep. One Mission. 28 Marathons. 
Welcome to the Ultimate Human Performance Challenge
This October in Dubai, UAE
In October 2025, Claude Louis 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.
