RE: The greatest race on earth
Torrential rain, falling temperatures, mist and danger of mudslides (some have even mentioned avalanches) led to the organizers suspending the race before things got out of hand. It's the first time this has happened but given the nature of the event and the number of people out there (more than 2000) it had to happen one day.

A lot of disappointed people and some of them are angry but part of signing up for a race of these characteristics is to accept the premise that safety (of everyone involved) must come first. What a nightmare for the organizers...
