Death-defying heat gripped the day. Spotter planes, helicopters and sharp shooters closely tailed the runners to prevent charging rhinos, elephants and lions from attacking. In spite of all this, CTLA member Craig Ewing triumphantly crossed the finish line of a 26.2 mile marathon through a game safari in Kenya.  Another time, he finished fourth overall in chilling 15 degree weather and brutal 50 mph winds. Under these extreme Antarctic conditions, only four brave and freezing spectators dared to withstand the elements to celebrate the accomplishments of all the runners.
