I think many HNers would enjoy the Australian version of this: http://worldrogainingchamps.com.au/ http://worldrogainingchamps.com.au/ A rogaine only lasts 24 hours—no one has been tempted to organise a longer one. On the other hand, the requirement to keep staggering along a running track is replaced by a stricter one: you need to keep navigating precisely, in the dark, away from tracks, using only map and compass. The need to stay alert and keep thinking makes for a more subtle contest, and in some ways a more interesting one. Then there's the aesthetic part. Instead of a marquee full of used bandages, you get the McDonnell Ranges by moonlight, and the feeling of autonomy that comes when you're running through the middle of nowhere at 3 a.m. with a water bottle, a snakebite bandage and a few muesli bars.
