  • Summary

  • Ready for a race you won’t believe? 🏅 In this episode, we’re taking a wild run through the infamous 1904 St. Louis Olympic marathon—a race that was more survival horror than sport. Picture this: runners dodging cars 🚗, stray dogs 🐕, and even inhaling toxic fumes 🌪️ while battling scorching heat. With water stations almost non-existent 💧 and one competitor getting a lift in a car 🚙 (seriously!), this marathon was a chaotic comedy of errors. Meet the runners who dared to take on this insane course, and find out why this race goes down in history as the most absurd Olympic event ever. Whether you’re a marathon enthusiast or just here for the madness, this episode is your front-row seat to the race that redefined “endurance”! 🎙️😅
