A psychiatrist told me about this. About 10 years ago, a race was held in Barnaul on May 9th through the city center. The distance was supposedly 3 miles. A manic patient was being treated at a psychiatric hospital. Upon learning about the race, he escaped from the ward, ran to the starting point (about 7 miles from the hospital to the race), registered, ran the race twice, received two T-shirts for his efforts, and ran back to the psychiatric hospital where he was being treated.
