A Race to The Finish!!
On currents 4 kids I chose to read the article "A race to the finish". This article is about the Barkley Marathon which is apparently the hardest, longest and toughest marathon in the world. The Barkley Marathon is a cross country race that is 160 kilometers long also 4 times longer than a normal marathon. You are given 60 hours to finish the race but its not an ordinary race because your not racing other people your racing against time. Overall in 32 years only 15 people have successfully finished the race in under 60 hours. Just like the saying goes "If you don't beat the Barkley in 60 hours, the Barkley beats you". The Barkley Marathon isn't your usual race because they are all set up in a way for you to win and succeed but the Barkley is made for you to fail.
In my personal opinion I think its very obvious that this is a race with a low chance of you actually completing it in under 60 minutes. Its very hard and intense! Finally for those 15 people that have completed this 160 kilometer race, congratulations to you!
