"Thanks to the US interstate system, a cross-country road trip is a relatively easy test of endurance\u2014but things are a bit different in Russia. This is evidenced by the fact that a cross-country cheerleading road trip for the Sochi Olympics required a group of nine men to use three Volkswagen monster trucks to complete the almost 10,000-mile trek.

On February 7, 2013, the group started off in the capital city of Moscow, and on April 8, they arrived at the opposite side of the country in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky\u2014of course, one of the stops in between A and B was the port city of Pevek, which has nearly the same latitude as Northern Alaska. Along the way, the expedition even set a new Guinness World Record: The 9813.3-mile trip earned the Longest Journey by Car in a Single Country designation.
