Posted by occh in I haven’t looked into the record books, but I’ve only heard of a handful of people dribbling 26.2 with a basketball. Yesterday, Eric Martin dribbled the New York City Marathon in 4:00:45!! THAT IS FAST!
The previous DribbletheWorld.com record was 4:37:54 at the 2007 NYC Marathon. Other impressive times were 4:41:21 and 4:44:14–Eric shaved well over a minute off of every mile from those times! For those of you who are runners, imagine running around a 9:18 pace for over 26 miles, while dribbling a basketball!!
All that to say-GREAT JOB ERIC!!! Praise God for you and the heart He has given you for people. As far as I’m concerned, you have world record for dribbling a marathon-and if someone finds a faster time, we’ll bring you back to NYC to beat it 
We’re still accepting donations in honor of Eric’s effort to help Malaria No More end malaria deaths by 2015. Remember, every $10 buys, ships, and distributes 2 mosquito nets to protect at risk families. If you are inspired in this way to give, donate here.
Keep checking DribbletheWorld.com-Many pictures and videos coming soon!
wohooo! yay Eric!
Our God is an Awesome God!!! Way to go Eric, doing it all for Him!!!
God Bless

On est très fiers de toi, d’autant plus que tu as été rapide semble-t-il!!!

AMAZING JOB ERIC! It’s absolutely great to know that you topped the record and for such a wonderful cause!
hey hey! good job Éric!
je vais tenter de battre ton temps le marathon de Montréal l’année prochaine avec une balle!.(j’ai bien dit tenté)
Encore bravo et c’est vraiment nice d’avoir été à NY pour courir le marathon!
Hey Sam !
Merci pour le email. Je relève le défi. Le prochain que je fais je vais essayer, je dis bien essayer aussi de le faire entre 3h30 et 3h40. Je pense que c’est possible. Ça prend moins de monde à contourner mais surtout une vitesse constante durant les 26 miles mias surtout entre 19 et 26. On s’en reparle
