A 61-year-old potato farmer showed up to one of the world's hardest races wearing overalls and work boots. Everyone thought he was a spectator... Then the race started.

The race is a brutal 544 miles. The other competitors were professional athletes sponsored by Nike, wearing high-tech gear. Cliff was wearing his gardening clothes and actual galoshes (gumboots).

Reporters asked if he was crazy. He just told them he grew up herding sheep on his farm for days without stopping, so he figured he could run a little bit.

When the race started, the pros took off. Cliff didn't run; he did a weird, slow shuffle. He fell behind immediately.

But the pros followed a strict strategy: run for 18 hours, sleep for 6.

Cliff had no strategy. He genuinely didn't know you were allowed to sleep. So while the athletes slept, Cliff just kept shuffling.

He ran for 5 days, 15 hours, and 4 minutes without stopping.

He didn't just win; he shattered the course record by almost 2 days and beat the professional athletes by 10 hours.

When they handed him the $10,000 grand prize, he was confused. He said he didn't know there was money involved.

He ended up splitting the cash evenly among the other runners.
