Barkley Marathons.

[Graham Breeze]

Agreed. It is a mixture of silliness, and difficulty for difficulty's sake. I am surprised it is worshipped so. But it is undoubtedly extremely tough, and I admire those who do it, especially if they succeed in doing all 5 loops in the required time.

So it's a bit like completing the London Marathon pushing a peanut with your nose...it's hard to achieve but which sane individual would wish to?
