They are a crazy bunch if you ask me...many will puke along the way, attempt to sleep in vans but usually fail to get any sleep, have difficulty holding down food, get rained on or run in 90 degree heat, and typically end up with several blisters on their feet, all bloodied.
And most of them will do it again next year, and the year after that, and the year after that...with a "thank you sir, may I have another?"
By the time they hit downtown Portland, many will be barely functional. That's why they have these crazy support
fans vans that stop along the way and cheer all the people besides their own runners. You see otherwise, I think most of them would stop, have a beer in town and eat a burger before getting back on their tired feet.
Oh those crazy runners.
