The world's greatest race

Amby Burfoot over at Runner's World did a great article on his 2007 uphill run of the Comrades. It's an epic read that really seems to capture the eccentricities, ridiculous traditions and overall feel of the race. Strikes both fear and eagerness in my (still stodgy) heart.  

"Fifty-five brutal miles. Five torturous climbs. A ruthless clock. The Comrades Marathon may be the world's greatest race. But not because it's easy"
