Laz’s Big Dog Backyard Ultra took place on October 22, 2011 in Lazarus Lake’s backyard in Wartrace, Tennessee…naturally.
This unique race consisted of a 4.16 mile loop where the runners had to complete the loop in less than a hour. If a runner couldn’t then he or she was disqualified and their day was over. The race restarts every hour, on the hour, and it repeats until just one runner is left standing.
Tim Englund won the inaugural event, lasting 18 loops (74.88 miles), beating Dave Carver who completed 17 loops (70.72 miles).

100-year old Fauja Singh became the oldest person in human history to complete a full (26.2 mile) marathon over the weekend according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Singh completed the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Sunday with a time of 8 hours, 25 minutes, and 16 seconds.
I’m not sure if he was complimenting the institution of marriage or comparing how difficult finishing a marathon at 100 was too marriage in his quote below after the race:
“Beating his original prediction, he’s overjoyed,” his coach and translator Harmander Singh said. “Earlier, just before we came around the (final) corner, he said, ‘Achieving this will be like getting married again.’
“He’s absolutely overjoyed, he’s achieved his lifelong wish.”
Sunday’s run was Singh’s eighth marathon – he ran his first at age 89 – and wasn’t the first time he set a record.
Video on Fauja Singh’s Accomplishment
“You eat to live, not live to eat!”

Here is our first look at the 2011 California Wine Country Marathon that took place on October 16, 2011 in Healdsburg, California.
This cork-stopper is a medal that actually might be used beyond the day it was handed down at the finish line.
Several points to the RD for creativity!

We’ve heard rumors about the Little Rock Marathon medal, but now we have photos of the 2011 version to back up the claims of how massive this piece of bling actually is.
This medal 7 3/4″ long and 5″ wide. It weighs 1.5 pounds and the earth/globe spins like your cousin’s rims. See video of the ‘spinner’ in action HERE.
