Wow.
I somehow missed this whole story when it happened, but this Kip Litton guy seems like a serious piece of garbage.

I can tell you right now....I am a masters runner and I live in Kips area.....and Davison is my old hometown actually. All of us masters guys that are competitive in the area know each other very well and we all know who's who and who is doing well in races and a lot of us train together when we can. I have never seen this guy do anything at any of our local races. If he did, we would know. Maybe he is training alone and racing out of town races....lol....highly doubtful. The guy is shameful.

Yet Baxley's extreme emotional investment in this points to what I believe to be a more likely conclusion -- that Kip himself is posting as Dan Baxley. Just because a Dan Baxley in Michigan exists doesn't prove that he's the owner of that Facebook account; we tend to think "everyone" is on FB nowadays, but a lot of my own friends aren't and I'm not even old. I could easily create a sham account in the name of any number of people I know who both exist and would be unlikely to discover my subterfuge.
In any case, the involvement here of Baxley -- or perhaps "Baxley" -- is in no way helping Litton's case and indeed is making it an even more risible issue. They should all gather together on Christmas morning and overdose on lethal chemicals.
LMAO!!! That actually makes sense as Kip is known to have:
1) posed as a "brian smith" to submit a note to The local media about his recent running "accomplishments"
2) entered a race as Rich Rodriguez
3) Created the West Wyoming marathon website with the help of amateur web designer ben Millefoglie with a fictitious race director named Rich Rodriguez who would even respond to people's emails (such as Kyle Strode's)
4) some locals in Michigan came to Singer to say he has been a perpetual liar throughout life
5) called out by Sage Canaday as a cheat in his book on Hansons Distance Project
Makes sense that he might create fake Facebook profiles to talk to people
6) Sad but also funny as hell:
son named nick Litton tweets publicly:
"@nick_litton #QuestionsIHateBeingAsked did ur dad cheat in marathons? no he didnt, so stop asking..."

What would be his motivation to do this? According to Baxley, the guy wrecked his knee or knees in a car accident and can't run anymore.
Is a guy named Kurt Litton related to Kip? I looked up and saw this guy at a race in Flint (Healing Hands 5K in Flint in May)...for a split second he looked a bit like Kip...but I moved on as he took his hat off and was bald. However...my attention was drawn back to him when they announced the name Kurt Litton for an age group award...I guess I was expecting to see Kip. Just curious if that has ever been part of the story.

Hmm, well I'm guessing Kip probably wears a wig, so could Kurt have been Kip? Where does the Dan Baxley guy fit in to all this?
Kurt Litton looks to have run a 30 min 5K. Gun and chip time were the same. Doubt any wig conspiracy theory.
Little tidbit, proves nothing, but for those still interested....... Dexter ann arbor run 2007(1/2 marathon), done one week after a reported 2:55 at the bayshore marathon. 1:25:14 chip time, about 1:30 lag from gun time:
1 42 2345 Kip Litton Clarkston 45 1:26:40 1:25:14 6:31
Pic near finish, no bib unlike everyone else:

Ha!, a 1:30 lag from the gun time and he runs 1:25:14...sure!!!! Like I said a million times, dozens and dozens of runners would have remembered him passing them but not one did out of all those runners. Aka, it didn't happen. He went under the finishing clock at that time, but no way he ran the whole course.

Based on the above data, sorted by gun time, I would expect him to show up on one of these two pages:
http://www.runmichigan.com/photogallery/08/dexterannarbor060108.php?450
http://www.runmichigan.com/photogallery/08/dexterannarbor060108.php?480
But I don't see him on any page.
Wow, it's almost comical. I know several of those runners. No way did he run the whole distance and outrun them from start to finish. Wish people would have known about this earlier and could have easily nabbed him with video evidence as he obviously left the course at some point during the race and re-entered. As has been said before, years will go by and suddenly it will be "it was all just a big joke"...wait for it.
