Just before the last election President Bush visited my airport at KLNS in two 757's. they used runway 26 which has a land and hold short operation. I think as a joke ATC asked the 757 to land and hold short of 31. (3700' available) The airport was closed of course for the visit. The pilot said no problem and did exactly that followed by the second 757 who did the same thing. I didn't think that was possible.

757-200 PW2040, REK (Reykjavik, Iceland) RWY 01 :
TODA 5141' TOW= 215.800 Lbs
LDA 4879' MLW = 201.900 Lbs
That's fully factored so in real life 3700' to a full stop or turn-off should pose no problem.

mutt can probably beat this
