THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

The Challenge. To run the entire length of the Great Wall of China in one attempt.In October 2006, two extreme athletes David Grier and his friend Braam accepted the first Cipla Miles for Smiles Foundation challenge: to run the length of the Great Wall of China in one attempt..

 

It had never been done before and was deemed humanly impossible, yet four months later the two had achieved their seemingly unattainable goal having run, climbed and in cases, crawled their way across treacherous and weather-battered terrain and into the record books by becoming the first people in recorded history to run the length of the Sleeping Dragon as the wall is often called.
