Achieving this huge distance required not only a top psyche and outstanding physical fitness but also first-class equipment. Sponsor LANXESS treated Schwerk's clothing with its special additive Tastex Cool-Ex, which gave the running vest a cooling effect.
And the soles of Schwerk's high-tech running shoes are based on the special-purpose rubber Krynac, which is also manufactured by the Leverkusen chemical company. The material is particularly abrasion-resistant.
This was an important aspect in the world's toughest race. Many running shoes are already worn through after two days of MegaMarathon running. With his shoes, Schwerk could run much further.
Leverkusen-based chemical company LANXESS is a leading chemicals group with production sites and agencies all over the world: a global player in the fields of chemicals, plastics and rubber.
