Wikipedia
I am sure most readers have used wikipedia at one time or another. But
did you know this site contains quite a bit of ultra distance walking
information.
Firsly, there are the links to pedestianism of the nineteenth century
and to Capt Robert Barclay, the most famous of the early pedestrians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Barclay_Allardice
Then moving into the twentieth century, there is the dedicated page to
Centurion walking and the page on Tommy Hammond, one of the founding
members of the centurion movement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_(racewalking)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hammond_(athlete)
Then there are lots of links on more recent famous ultradistance
walkers (and runners), including one for Sandra Brown

Personal Sites
And of course, some ultra distance walkers also have their own websites.
https://www.ultrabrowns.co.uk/ (website of Sandra
and Richard Brown)
And that is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Let me know of
others. It would be good to build up a more extensive picture of what
is out there.
