I propose NYRR's "Emerald Nuts Midnight Run" as the worst-named race in the history of athletics. Just thinking about it gets me all uncomfortable. Beat that.

ah ah, that's a good one!
A friend of mine puts on a race in Maine called the "Blueberry Run". One year he thought it would be fun to add a kids race.
Yup, without even thinking about alternative meanings, he called it the "Blue Baby Run." Obviously after his wife had sat him down and explained things, he changed the name the following year.
The first year's t-shirts are classics.
The Dick Small Invitational comes to mind. Defiance, OH.
How about "Keep Your Colon Rollin' 5k Walk/run"

I think "Emerald Nuts Across The Bay 12K" tops that.
Fatty Arbuckle Memorial 10k.
I haven't actually managed to organize this fabulous race, but I have designed the plastic cloissone cap that will fit on the souvenir Champion Chip, and I assure you it's classic.
I would enter a "Cure For Sobriety" 5K just to get a T.
chilly willy 5K
april fool races (are they really on?)
You win.
the Dick Small Invitational at Defiance, home to the Weener center and the Dix tennis courts. no joke
Could be worse if his last name was "Head"
In Michigan the Monroe Trojans used to hold the Dick Waters Invitational. Worse yet, the sign at the entrance to the stadium read "Trojans are great win or lose, thanks for coming."
The Half Moon Bay to Belmont....what the hell does that mean?
