I have never done a pure MR but often book unusual routings for the adventure and the PQMs. The longest was BOS-EWR-CLE-ORD-IAH-LAX-SYD-WLG, which was a lot of fun. Usually, though, I operate on a smaller scale (BWI-EWR-PIT-ORD-BOS and BWI-EWR-BOS-IAD-CHO coming up soon).

On one MR, 11:
Friday: PHX-ORD-LHR
Saturday: LHR-JFK-SFO-LAX
Sunday: LAX-IAD-FRA
Monday: FRA-LHR-SFO-LAX-PHX
Minus 6 hours or so at the LAX Marriott I was on planes or in airports that whole time.

I am about to go on a 14 hr segment run that will net 6.
LGA-DCA-CLT-BHM-CLT-PHL-LGA $340
With a biz trip later in the week I will clear the 100 segment threshold for US CP.

My longest to date are two 6-segment runs. Lame, I know. One pure MR EWR-HKG-SIN-KUL-CGK-HND-(ground transfer)-NRT-EWR and one LIS-ATL route creatively as LIS-JFK-PHL-CVG-SDF-LEX-ATL because I needed the segments.
My "most segments" is yet to come. Not yet flown, but booked. I need to fly SJC-EWR, and booked it as 13 segments SJC-DEN-NRT-GUM-MNL-GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ-HNL-SFO-EWR. I am not sure how my body will deal with this, especially considering there are no showers at airports between NRT and SFO. Still, looking forward to this crazy one.

Awesome routing. SJC-MNL-EWR open jaw?

Biggest I did was...
PER-SYD-MEL-SYD-LAX-EWR-DEN-HNL-OGG-ITO-OGG-HNL-EWR-LAX-SYD-MEL-PER
Admittedly there was overnights in EWR and HNL but I couldn't get around those.
Knocked off the 30k UA miles I needed for a 1K challenge along with earning me a heap of VA status credits.

Did a segment run last year with 12 in a day as part of a status challenge. Involved Chicago, Boston, Newark, Dulles and Houston.
