At 22:37 local time on August 6, Pop departs from the city of Gorwe, the city of Ireland. Before the challenge started, he and the team drank a little Guinness black beer in a tavern. At the beginning, he could run faster, but after a while, he was exhausted. He kept his teeth and insisted, took some medicines and drank a can of cola halfway, and returned to his state. With the help of four friends and the support of passersby, Pop entered the capital Dublin when the sun fell the next day to complete the feat.

Robert Pop is considered a real "Agan". He studied "Agan" in 2018 to run across the United States, which lasted 422 days and once won the Guinness World Record. It is reported that before Pop, Guinness had not acted across any relevant records of Ireland in a day, so he was likely to be the first person to complete this feat.

After completing the challenge, Robert Pop was interviewed by the BBC. At this time, he was also humorous. He said that although the challenge was very difficult, he thought he had the strength to climb the stairs back to the dormitory after running. Talking about the plan after the game, he smiled and said, "If we arrive within 24 hours, we will go to Dublin for a drink, and we do it. We start with a glass of wine and end with a glass of wine."

Robert Pop is from Liverpool, a super marathon elite player. There are countless marathon games that have participated in. Two months ago, he began to imagine running through Ireland, hoping to use this opportunity to raise funds for the World Nature Foundation. Pop said that the preparation time for this super marathon is not long, and the festival and work are prepared for about five weeks.
