This weekend you'll see a sight along the Erie Canal that you're not
used to seeing during the frigid winter: Runners -- and many of them --
competing against one another and Mother Nature on the towpath.
Long-distance runners from across Western New York and places far away will be converging on our area for a 100-mile run on January 24th and 25th. Called the "Beast of Burden" it is an event organized by Lockport runner Sam Pasceri that will have runners go from Widewaters in Lockport to Middleport and back...twice.
This will be a grueling event! 100 miles is tough. 100 miles in arctic weather...that's even tougher!
Saturday's high is forecasted to be 32 degrees...with overnight lows of 15..and a high of 16 on Sunday.
