Description: In 1983, a 61 year old potato farmer called Cliff Young stunned Australia by winning an epic running race between Sydney and Melbourne. The victory made Young a legend and helped put ultra-running on the map as a sport. Witness speaks to ultra-running great Tony Rafferty, who lost to Cliff Young in the 1983 race.
