Cheating is impossible, since runners must present specific pages torn from books hidden along the course, in order to start the next lap. GPS are not allowed–Laz issues each racer an inexpensive watch that shows only the time, counting down from the 60-hour cutoff. It involves five laps of a 20-mile loop that many believe is significantly longer than 20 miles, along an unmarked course that changes slightly every year, with huge elevation gains and losses. The race is a notoriously difficult 100-miler, with a number of quirks that set it apart from any other race on Earth.
