In 2020, the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of either running the race virtually or transferring their entry to a later year.[6]
The 2023 race has been called “The Floating Pig”, due to the thunderstorms, torrential downpour, and flash flooding that took place during the course of the race. Controversially, the race was not cancelled despite lightning strikes within the first hour.
