Okay, our friends at PUMA Running are at it again. Combining professional wrestling, the devil takes the hindmost mile and racing over 5,000 meters, PUMA sent us this video on how to spice up a 5,000m race!
The key idea is that goofy things like this, will bring the sport of track & field to potential sports fans. The video is loose, and will get young athletes and athlete wanna be’s wanting to check out the Battle Royale! A tip of the hat to PUMA.
