Tough 75 year old starting his 8th run across America.
Amazing what some people can endure.

I do hope that guy is legit?

On the letsrun.com forum there are many topics about people who have been found to fake a large part of their run.

Like this one: letsrun.com

Binks, who used to post on here quite a lot, ran across America and wrote a book. I don't think there was ever any doubt that his run was genuine.

75 years old, though? I respect that :)

It is, The_Saint :) I didn't know of the existence of either letsrun or Lazarus Lake until that unsavoury escapade.

Got something to say?
