Chackbay teacher plans backwards half marathon

The Times Picayune and the Tri Parish Times both have a feature on Richard Strasbourg, a French teacher at Chackbay Elementary School from Montreal, Quebec, who plans to run the Ole Man River half-marathon backward on Dec. 20 in New Orleans.

He's not nuts, the papers report. He's raising money to fight cancer and he's trying to win a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records.
