Most people run a race to see who is fastest.
I run a race to see who has the most guts. He won 4 consecutive NCAA titles in the 5,000 meter run while running for the University of Oregon. He finished 4th in that race in the 1972 Olympics. At the age of 24, he was the favorite to win the 5,000 meters in the 1976 Olympics but a car crash killed him on June 1, 1975. Click here to go to my info.
