Think you're pretty tough for completing that half marathon? Think again. The new book "The World's Toughest Endurance Challenges" highlights 50 insane ultra-endurance races that will put your half marathon to shame. In fact, they'll put the feats of your crazy, type-A triathlete coworker to shame, and make you think twice about complaining about anything for a very (very) long time.The Great Wall Marathon is run along China's Great Wall and includes 5,164 steps, some of which are waist-high, extreme heat, and precipitous drops protected only by a handrail. "It is very hot--the heat can kill you out there," participant Henrik Brandt told the authors. Photo courtesy VeloPress, adventure-marathon.com.
