Other? | Link Racers on the 260-yard course start running up a hill, cross a timber hurdle, wade through a mud-water pit, climb over a big pile of sand and then bolt for the finish line. The Scandinavians come up with the best ideas! They've got the Viking competitions and now this. Fnord12 carries me all of the time. We could've been a contender!
