My kids watched the video of the guy (Beau Miles) doing 1mile every hour for 24 hours, and they're tempted to do similar over new year's eve into new years day.

They haven't really thought through that as it's the darkest time of year, most of the runs will be in the dark.

If you've not seen the video, it's quite entertaining.

I tried to find some background information on the runners but failed. Matthew Blackburn is a repeat offender at BYUs, and six still standing at this stage is promising for a long finish.

Just headed out on yard 52. I didn't really know much of the runners neither I was invested in Karen Nichol, she is only a few months out of foot surgery so to get 33yds is amazing. A great comeback.
