The Hamster on Strava: Unpacking the Frenzy Over Mollie's Marathons A Dutch physicist, Thijs de Buck, has inadvertently created a social media sensation with his pet hamster, Mollie.
De Buck initially aimed to monitor Mollie's nocturnal activities using an over engineered tracking system.
However, the data collected has taken on a life of its own, with Mollie logging impressive mileage on the running app Strava.
