No, they know going in it is win or die. This is an annual event and a National Celebration. This premise is set in a bleak future and there's a waiting list for a shot at that one-in-a-hundred chance to be set for the rest of your life.
How'd I'd win: prepare. Shoes tested and walked in prior to the race start to make sure there'd be no blisters. Comfortable, loose clothes. Plenty of sleep before hand. and mind-fuck the others as much as possible. You can't get emotionally close to anyone: they must be dead to you.
