As if running a marathon wasn't hard enough. Karen Williams had just 2.5 miles left in the Valles Caldera Marathon on Sunday when she was attacked by a bear. Williams was coming up a small hill during the trail marathon, in the Valles Caldera Nature Preserve in New Mexico, when she saw a bear charging at her from about 15 feet away. "I raised my arms and yelled 'No!' then saw the cub," Williams recounts in the marathon's Facebook group. "Then I was on my a-- and being raked with claws and bitten." The bear ramped up her attack on Williams to defend her cub.
