Also, if you look into the running histories of these runners, you will see that they've proven their athleticism in a number of ultramarathons. I didn't confirm this for Kevin Lin, but both Ray Zahab and Charlie Engel are top-ranking runners in these competitions.

They do crazy things like running through the desert, the arctic, and rain forests.
