There's a recent conversation of Lazarus Lake, the designer of these races, with Tyler Cowen [0]. This race is crazy hard.

[0] video+transcripts @ https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/lazarus-lake/




Some great quotes here.

> When people try to set up similar events, say, in Europe, they make them put a tracker on everybody because the government wants to protect you from yourself. But we’ve always done it. They’ll say, “Well, the tracker wouldn’t make a difference because it doesn’t tell the runner where they are.” But it tells the runner someone knows where they are.

> I’m transitioning it over to a guy named Carl Laniak because I won’t be around forever. We just had to get rid of the nonproductive qualities. He had empathy [laughs] and other things that serve no purpose in a race of this nature.
