I have no idea what you want on this sub so I hope this fits!

I randomly stumbled onto this documentary on youtube and ended up watching the whole thing. The guy who created this race is an absolute character, he goes by 'Lazarus Lake', and he's gone on to create more races since this one if you want to continue down the rabbit hole, you can check out his wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_Lake

Now I just randomly throw this documentary on when I need background noise, I love it so much.

ps. just noticed the sidebar says 'read' so if videos are not the best then feel free to remove! good luck with this community, looking forward to it

The whole mythos around the race really makes it fascinating. Another great video about it if you have an hour or so:

Hah the first comment on that video is gold

While watching this I pondered if I could run such a race. As I drank my coffee, sitting in my reclining chair, some coffee went down the wrong pipe and I almost choked to death. I answered my own question.
