Participants in a 140.6-mile race

.

This clue is a bit of a head-scratcher, isn’t it? It’s not immediately clear what kind of race we’re talking about, and the number 140.6 might feel a bit random. Don’t worry, though! We’re here to break down the clue and guide you towards the answer.

First, let’s think about what kind of race could be 140.6 miles long. It’s definitely not a standard marathon, which is just 26.2 miles. We need something bigger, something with a bit more endurance.

The number 140.6 might seem odd, but it actually holds a special significance in the world of athletics. It’s the total distance of a very specific and grueling race.

Think about the different types of endurance races you know: triathlons, ultra-marathons, cycling races… Perhaps one of these types of races includes a distance of 140.6 miles.

Remember, the answer to this clue is the collective name for the people who participate in this specific kind of race.
