So theres this race in Australia that takes about five days to complete. Sounds ridiculous eh? Well thats what most people would say, but what’s even more ridiculous is that one fateful year a 61 year old farmer decided to participate in the race. This race isn’t some like local joke. It’s kinda a big deal. World class marathon runners participate in this thing and are sponsored by some pretty big names including Nike. People tried to tell cliff to rethink his decision to participate. They feared the old man would die. Hell, I’m not even 20 years old and I’m pretty sure I would die. But Cliff stayed the course and actually WON this marathon in record time! It’s one of the craziest articles I’ve ever read and for the full story you should definitely make the jump. Hats off to Cliff Young, a true badass.
