There is no assurance that what he is doing will be of any use or that he will be rewarded for it. That's another hidden problem. He might just run through the entire challenge with nothing to show for it all because he has his sight set on the divine crown. The only thing he can do is run and stick to running. He can also hope that the golems protecting the crown will kill the person with the crown and retrieve it for him.
The problem of the golems ended pretty well. The crown was thrown away from him and it landed very close to someone else. This person had seen what happened when the first person took the crown. The sight of the horde of golems and the arrows that sailed toward those that are close to the crown discouraged this person from grabbing the crown.
