The student finished the 26.2 miles in 9.5 hours. Winning your NFL fantasy football league is a marathon, not a sprint. And so is losing — as Cole Bray, a sophomore at Wake Forest University, found out, after he walked 26.2 miles inside the school’s dining hall as punishment for finishing last in his friend group’s fantasy football.

“I thought this would be super funny, and then I ended up losing and had to do it,” Bray said. In a now-viral video on TikTok, which has garnered over 1.3 million views, Cole’s friend, Chris Ellis, captures his feat from start to finish, clipping together videos of Cole power walking past students in the university’s cafeteria named “The Pit.”.

For 9.5 hours, he walked the same monotonous route, while listening to music and grabbing the occasional glass of water from his friends nearby. “Basically, I did a figure eight,” Cole said. “And then every 20 minutes, I’d have a watch and I would switch the direction, but I kept to that basically the whole time.”.

Originally, Cole, Chris, and the eight other guys in their fantasy league had planned to make the loser eat 83 hot dogs, a shout out to Joey Chestnut’s record number at Nathan’s Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. But none of them were thrilled at the idea of stuffing themselves with dozens of glizzies, so Cole birthed a better idea.
