Jesper Olsen is the first person to be inducted into the WRA membership, as noted on their web site. His run was scrutinized by the ultra running community. You can find the entire history of world run 1, the runners involved, the daily reports, pictures, detailed maps, GPS documentation, etc., at the old world run website.

David Kunst has a website and wrote the book The Man Who Walked Around The World.

His walk was very similar to David Kunst's, covering four continents and 14,500 miles. This distance is below the minimum required for WRA membership; however, the WRA and its rules did not exist at the time of his walk. With relation to WRA rules where a minimum of four continents are required he had two gaps (Burma between India and Thailand, and in the Middle East). Steven Newman has a website and wrote the books Worldwalk and Letters from Steven.

This walk was in stages and does not fulfill circumnavigation criteria.
