Lorraine Blancher: “Every new trail you travel on or off the beaten path brings uncertainty.

The race was conceived by Lazarus Lake (Gary Cantell) and Raw Dog (Karl Henn) as a mocking homage to a 1977 prison escape. The course, which changes every year, always traverses a tunnel under the prison.
You can view the madness on Netflix (and probably elsewhere).
