The Farmer Who Shuffled Through the Night Cliff Young shows up in overalls. And donated running shoes. Age 61. The other runners are elite pros in their thirties. The race is 875 kilometres from Sydney to Melbourne. Cliff shuffles slowly. But he never stops. He woke early by accident, then decided sleep was optional. He wins by ten hours. Then gives the prize money away.
