Cold weather struck an ultramarathon in northwestern China, killing twenty-one people and sparking outrage at the lack of planning, according to reports.
An ultramarathon is any long-distance race that extends beyond the standardized (since 1921) marathon length of 26 miles 385 yards. The race in China was set for 62 miles through tough terrain that included cliffs and canyons, Reuters reported. Forecasts had called for wind and rain, but nothing as serious as what racers met. Three hours after the start, temperatures plummeted as hail, high winds and freezing rain struck the course. Temperatures hit a low of 43 degrees Fahrenheit – not including wind chill.
