Teenager Vance's victory was all the more remarkable because he was born with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that can cause stiffness and spasming in the legs.

Of course, they're not the only returning contenders, with Tyler Yamauchi, Najee Richardson, Isaiah Thomas, Isabella Wakeham, Kyle Schulze and Elijah Browning amongst those looking to improve on their previous best results on the world’s best-loved obstacle course.
