agree with Barbara that many people who do multi-days are erstwhile 100-milers,

Multi-day and 100's both represent a kind of ultimate challenge for the very
dedicated, and compete for the sorts of riders to whom that appeals. 100's
used to get all of 'em, because multi-days were few and far
between.
