It started at 6 a.m. on Wednesday at the S line at the
Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street station in Queens. Two men began their quest to traverse the entire subway system, passing through more than 400 stations,
before arriving at the Pelham Bay Park station in the Bronx on the 6
line in less than 25 hours, 11 minutes and 8 seconds, which will set a speed record.

Matthew Green, 26 and Don Badaczewski, 24,
have doen crazy things before including a 2002 taco-eating contest, which ended in a tie at 18, when
they were undergraduates at the University of Virginia. 

You can see their detailed itinerary in a posting
