I love reading about this race a couple of times per year. The pictures of January's race are incredible. You not going to want to miss looking at this link.

???

It should be tougher than a cross country race based on the obstacles in place that a cross country race does not have.

It seems to me that it's glorification is only based on it there not being many other races similar to it.

I'm pretty sure there a lots of people that could do it and have. I've completed 50 mile ultra's before. That's not the point. The novelty of it is the intrigue in my opinion.

As long as they don't have a reading or spelling section, CCrunner might be ok.

But, if they ask him to spell "says," he is screwed.

Yea, my bad. :D Just didn't feel like opening that can of worms. But, i am annoyed that CCRunner seem to assume that he is gods gift to running.
