If you want to know about some of the runners who paid their money towards the prize money, knowing they were going to be in the middle of the pack and maybe even at the back of the pack and maybe even the last one crossing the finish line, then you are on the right page.  These are the stories of the runners who arrive at the finish line with the sweat soaked shirt, the scraped knees, and the vacant look in the eyes.  But they somehow know there is an invisible line, with a large flashing sign which says:  “Welcome, you have made it to the finish line”    CONGRATULATIONS!
