"Recognized globally as 'the world's toughest foot race,' this
legendary event pits up to 90 of the world’s toughest athletes—runners,
triathletes, adventure racers, and mountaineers—against one another and the
elements. Covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney,
CA in temperatures up to 130F (55c), it is the most demanding and extreme
running race offered anywhere on the planet."

El Caminito del Rey
http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito_del_Rey
Pathway between Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls, pinned along the steep walls
of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain.
Built in 1901, the walkway is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It
is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) above the river.
Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the walkway have
completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the
wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After
four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed
the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the
walkway.
