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.

They say it's "8 country miles long....give or take" on their website. Whatever that means.

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.

I thought it said that the winner won in a little over 18 minutes?

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.
