Running wildebeest almost hit runner during race in South Africa

James Duncan was running the Impi Elite Race extreme adventure race in South Africa when he came across something unusual coming his way. A herd of running wildebeest comes toward them and barely misses the athlete during the marathon.

The scene was recorded by Duncan himself, who posted the video on YouTube. The sequence happens in a few seconds as wildebeests can reach a speed of up to 80 km / h.

The athlete's fright is more than justified in the scene, as the animals suddenly appear coming from behind some trees. Check out the excerpt posted by Duncan through YouTube.
