The sport of ultrarunning during the 19th century was truly filled with tales of strange things that are unthinkable and shocking to us today. Taking a tangent from the six-day history which will continue, enjoy these bizarre tales. This episode will present two bizarre and shocking stories that have never been fully told and have been forgotten -- the Van Ness shooting, and the head-scratching story of John Owen Snyder, "The Indiana Walking Wonder," who may have walked and run more miles in three years than anyone in history.
