【１】次の英文を読んで，問いに答えなさい。
There are a lot of different hobbies that people do. Some people play tennis, somepeople watch movies, some people play video games, and some people love running. And
some of those people really, really love running.

A full marathon is 42.195km long. For some people ① this may be an impossible distanceto run, but for other people, it is not enough. An ultramarathon is a marathon over
42.195km. ② There are also some ultramarathons that are set in some of the coldest andhottest places on Earth. The 6633 Arctic Ultra has two courses, a 193km course and a617km course, that run through the snow and ice of the Arctic. The Marathon des Sables
race goes for 251km over the Sahara Desert. Both these races take between four to ninedays. But the most diﬃcult race in the world is probably the Barkley Marathons.

Entering the Race
③ Even just entering the Barkley Marathons is diﬃcult. There is no web page for themarathon to sign up at, and there are no ﬂyers or advertisements. To enter the race you
have to ﬁnd the email address of the *race organizer and email him an essay explaining
why you should be allowed to run the Barkley Marathons. Each year only 40 people canrun the race. Big marathons, like the Tokyo Marathon, usually cost around ￥13,000 toenter, but the Barkley Marathon only costs around ￥150, but you also have to bring *alicense plate from your hometown the ﬁrst time you run. If you want to run again anotheryear, the entrance fee is something that the race organizer needs, like a T-shirt or whitesocks.

The Course
The Barkley Marathons has a course that is around 32km long, and you have to run
ﬁve *laps within 60 hours to ﬁnish the race. The race is（④）km long and is run

in the mountains of Tennessee, America. Runners will climb around 16,500m during
the race. This is the same as climbing up and down Mt. Everest, twice! Also there are
no *aid-stations on the course, but there are two places with jugs of water. Only otherrunners can help you in the race. Before the race starts, runners are given a *descriptionof the course, and must use a map and compass to ﬁnd（A）they have to run and the*direction. There are no course markers, and you cannot use a GPS or electronic devices,一般− 1not even watches. And each year the course changes. Along the course there will be
between ten and thirteen books, you have to ﬁnd the books and take the same page as
your race number, and your race number changes for each lap. Two laps are run in a*clockwise direction, and two laps are run in an anti-clockwise direction.

Starting the race
Almost all races in the world have a start time. The Tokyo Marathon usually starts
at 9:10 a.m. The Barkley Marathons has no set start time. The race can start anytime
between midnight and noon on the race day. The race organizer will blow *a conch horn.
⑤ This lets the runners know they have one hour to get ready before the start of therace. The race starts（ B ）the race organizer lights his cigarette.

Finishing the race
This race is hard not only because of how long it is, or how much they have to climb, butalso because runners have to ﬁnd their way through the wild. In most Barkley Marathons,the top runners stay together and help each other. ⑥ This race isnʼt about coming ﬁrst,
it is about ﬁnishing. Most people cannot ﬁnish one lap in time, but people that can ﬁnish
four laps have another challenge. The ﬁfth and ﬁnal lap cannot be run together. The ﬁrst
person to start the ﬁfth lap chooses（C）direction they want to run, clockwise or anti-clockwise. Each runner after that must run in *alternating directions. Over 33 years, morethan 1,500 people have entered the Barkley Marathons, but only ﬁfteen people have everﬁnished the race.
