A Chilliwack man is running, walking and climbing 100 miles uphill today and it鈥檚 all happening right in his own garage.

Gary Robbins has been going continuously on a treadmill since 9 a.m. this morning (Saturday, April 25) in an attempt to raise $5,000 for B.C. Search and Rescue (BCSAR).

鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be a long day. It鈥檚 hot in here, I鈥檓 sweating profusely,鈥� he said as his wife, Linda Barton-Robbins, checked in on him at the three-hour mark on Saturday.

At that point, he was 16 miles in at an elevation gain of 4,100 feet, and had already raised $6,200 for BCSAR.

鈥淭his is going to be boring as all hell. I promise it鈥檒l be worse than watching paint dry,鈥� Robbins said the day before the event in a YouTube video.

But he is suggesting people tune in to the live streaming video because 鈥渢here鈥檚 not a lot else to do right now.鈥�

Yesterday he asked viewers to guess how long it would take him to complete the 100-mile trea

dmill run. People guessed anywhere from 17 hours to more than 30 hours.

Robbins stepped on the treadmill at 9 a.m. this morning. Every hour, his wife checks on him and gives the viewers an update of how far he鈥檚 run, how high he鈥檚 climbed and how much money he鈥檚 raised.

Despite the title of his live video 鈥�100 Miles on a treadmill non-stop, with 30,000 feet of climbing,鈥� he will be taking a few breaks, his wife confirmed.

鈥淗e鈥檒l absolutely stop for washroom breaks and to change shoes or clothing. He鈥檒l sit down for some food as well,鈥� Barton-Robbins said.

Robbins has never run on a treadmill for more than two hours consecutively before. Typically, you鈥檒l find him doing trail runs, hiking, gravel riding, mountain biking and backcountry skiing, so this is something totally new for him.

鈥淭his will be a very difficult challenge for me,鈥� Robbins said Friday.

During the fundraiser, people can win some of the many prizes he鈥檚 giving away including entries to races, shoes, backpacks and more.

To keep himself entertained, he鈥檚 planning on watching Game of Thrones, since he鈥檚 never before seen an episode.

Tune in to his to watch him live, and for a chance to win prizes.
