How would you like to run with elephants on dirt tracks and muddy soil? Seems challenging and fun at the same time, isn’t it? But where can you possibly experience that once in a lifetime run? No place else but in Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. They have marathon programs that allow people to run alongside their gigantic elephants and you have options on whether to choose the mild 50 mile run or go for a hundred. Since this is a very strenuous run, the authorities are somewhat strict. They will only allow people who are endowed with physical endurance and excellent stamina to join the marathon.
