    The race with no finish line:Here’s how Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra works: runners have one hour to complete a 4.167-mile loop at the race organizer's home. Sounds easy enough. But then they have to do it over and over and over again. Hundreds of miles and a ridiculous amount of pain later, the last competitor still running wins. The creator of the race says, "You'll wonder how someone can inflict so much pain without a weapon.”(Sports Illustrated)

    "The things that make it fun are of course seeing people really reaching inside themselves and finding something, and going beyond what they thought they could do."

  2. “Ultra” marathon runners are taking years if not decades off their lives.
    That photo showing the runner sitting down looks like a picture of a WWII concentration camp. Just loose skin and bones with zero muscle.
    Idiocy at its finest for absolutely no return except to say you outlasted the other idiots.

    Instead of giving them Gatorade when they run by, give them this mixture, whatever you think was pain before......
