Wow I just read about this marathon series. I'm in awe over how difficult it would be to compete in a four-marathon series but it would be a thrilling feat. I can't even imagine the cost of doing it because the marathons are so spread out that one would need to take four months off work or fly to Kenya, fly home, fly to India, fly home, etc. Aside from that, this would be amazing.
From the Web site:
Try running through four exotic cities in four gruelling marathons. Are you tough enough to cope with 100% humidity, soaring temperatures and thin air at extreme altitudes?
This is what The Greatest Race on Earth is made of.
The race is four marathons rolled into one epic contest. It starts in the dizzying altitudes of Nairobi, a world away from the finish line in downtown Hong Kong. The course takes you on an extraordinary journey through Kenya, India, Singapore and Hong Kong via bustling city centres, beautiful historic monuments and stunning stretches of coastline.
It's The Greatest Race on Earth because it's unique, it's ambitious and it's a huge achievement for anyone to even cross the finish line.
The best teams and individuals stand to win from a cash pool of USD1.43 million. So test your resolve, strive to beat your personal best and run for charity.
