world. Most of them usually stay in the race to the end. The prize is money.
The runners will finish the race at different times. Some will have run for three
hours; some will have run for three and one-half hours; and some will have run for
much longer.
Each runner will have used his own special method to keep going. There are old

won any prizes for speed, but theyll have finished more races than other
participants.
