MINNEAPOLIS — In a stunning feat of athleticism Sunday, two men ran 50 miles around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis — a distance of nearly two full marathons back-to-back.

Patrick Larson and Jake Lepak ran 18 laps around the lake when it was all said and done.

The two friends are on the Special Olympics Minnesota Young Professionals Board. They were running to raise awareness and funds for the organization.
