It's not for you to diffuse the situation. They got themselves into this mess. Leave them to it.
Phan is supposed to be a pro marketing expert. She can sort this mess for herself without some random guy on a forum telling them what to do!

Meh, I'm usually cynical and enjoy a slow motion train crash but I can also be a helpful guy. I find it refreshing that Sandra's run is just a pure transcon attempt and not something involving a "charity" like with those other scammers we have dealt with.

Best place to look for that train crash is in your mirror.
PS. Your train crashed long ago.
How original. Couldn't you have put some effort into your snark?

Yep, Trasie's marketing train is going to crash on this one.

They already crashed and are acting oblivious.

Might be true, since they had to adjust the start of the record attempt for 2 weeks.

Let's hope that Sandra Vi can produce 55 mile running days starting on September 9th.

This is LRC. No one has permission to think.

It's still none of your business and not up to you to tell them who can and can't answer messages.
You do not know it will be a legit run as it's not started yet.
She has in the past used a car on a run and deleted all comments asking what happened, and lied about her marathon PR.
Don't assume things.

Great summary of Sandra Vi and Trasie Phan's accomplishments.
Well this is an odd turn. It looks like Sandra's transcon attempt was actually postponed because there was trouble getting sponsorship and now there is a GoFundMe to raise the $90,000 required to cover the costs in order for the run to go on.

That would be true if the gofundme page had not been created on 8/18- before the record attempt was postponed.
Perhaps you should get your facts straight before posting your distortions. Everyone can see your agenda here.

another runner panhandling on the internet.
if you cant finance your 6 week running holiday then find something else to do.
that said, if someone wants to pay for my next race entry and a new pair of shoes i'll happily set up a gofundme page.
as a bonus i'll raise awareness for the charity of your choice.

I'm in. But you won't do it.
Mmmmh even Caroll Pope, Trasie Phan's husband gave $100.
Quick math$90000 is 11250 per week or $1607 per day!
This is descending into farce. She's raised $700 out of the initial $40k required. The run will not happen.
Phan Marketing does not come cheap!
