    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.

    I read about this a couple years ago. It would be awesome to give it a shot.

    ???

    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.

    Please do it. I would love it. Sure I bet its hard.....mainly because it looks cold but I bet I finish in the top 5%. Prolly only 2 miles long.
    lol you are a cocky guy aren't ya mr gym teacher?

    They say it's "8 country miles long....give or take" on their website. Whatever that means.
  • LJ
    He has to do the winter version since he commented on that one
  • Con_Alma
    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.

  • gorocks99
