1000 mile contestants accept challenge in their sleep: "Athletics is all about facing a challenge and arguably none come greater than the one which will confront the six competitors who yesterday were named to run or walk a mile every hour for 1000 hours. In a concept devised by the organisers of the London Marathon, the Flora 1000-mile challenge is set to become one of the most high-profile athletics events in Britain next year."
