The Viral Paramus Half Marathon: What Really Happened | Zac Clark

What happens when the race probably should be canceled — but nobody stops running?

Zac breaks down one of the wildest races of his life: the Paramus Race Faster Half Marathon, where torrential rain turned the course into knee-and waist-deep water, rushing currents, slippery trails and even a detour into traffic. Despite it all, Zac and hundreds of other runners kept going.

After footage from the race went viral, Zac reflects on why he never considered stopping, the strange tunnel vision that takes over when you're chasing a finish line, and the unexpected sense of community that came from getting through something difficult together.

This is the story of the craziest half marathon Zac has ever run — and why he'd probably keep running until someone physically pulled him off the course.
