I won a car back in '92. You had to break the course record to win the car at the Mule Mountain Marathon from Bisbee to Ft. Huachuca. The previous record was 2:29:48... I hobbled in at 2:29:22 if memory serves correctly (after going through half marathon at 1:09 and change..oof). It was a brand new Ford Fiesta with no radio or AC.... But the Senior Commander flew in on a helicopter to give me the keys at the award ceremony.... Very cool.
Sold it back to the dealer after incredibly poor negotiations on my part for $5k.
