I’m going to see if I can start an event the competitors pay for.
It will encompass a 500 yard briar patch low crawl, followed by a swim from Alcatraz to the mainland.
Entry is $500.

Can’t read the article (paywall). However, if it presents what I think it does, then maybe this is a sign that competitions are focusing too hard on “extreme” and not enough on the actual sport. A 100K run is challenging enough without throwing in extreme conditions, and even events that change terrain a lot (such as the Tour de France) are designed to have gear that changes based on the terrain of the day. To go from desert to mountain in a single day is a level of stupidity on the part of the organizers that should preclude them from ever being an organizer again. It sounds as if 17 runners died. Horrendous price for ignorance.

How do you run a 100K race? That’s about 62,137 miles

Thats two and a half times around the earth. Something is wrong on the math.

Anybody check the local body-parts donation clinics?

“Here’s another one boss, over here in the ditch. Think we’ll get 50 yen for this one too? I’m keeping the running shoes this time, though.”
