A group of Russians took part in one of the world's most extreme running contests Friday — a marathon held at -52 degrees Celsius (-62 Fahrenheit).

Runners underwent medical checks before the start of the event in Oymyakon, a settlement in Siberia, and were provided with broth, hot tea, and snacks at refreshment points along the route.

Wrapped up from head to foot against the cold, 38 people competed in the marathon and half-marathon events, local media said.
