• Comments: An amazing experience - I'm glad I tried this once. Not sure if I have the energy and desire to do it again, but it has inspired me to try longer distance running. I can't begin to explain the sense of teamwork and encouragement that comes from forming close bonds with your van-mates over the course of 33 hours. You laugh, cry, shout, fight, corroborate, plan, strategize, console and tease each other to the point of exhaustion. By the end of Saturday, you and your van and all of your clothes smell to high heaven, but you feel like you really have accomplished something big - a run covering hundreds of miles!!
