Everone is trying to eat goop and electrolyte drinks, I think a nice pesto or carbonara would be better.
What do you think?

And Pharmacies too. Marathons should be declared "open drug" zones. Lance Armstrong can sell his magic potions and syringe kits.
Why no hand-job stands at the mall?
They should have fettuccine alfredo instead of water.
I bet if you started a marathon in a large city with this feature you could have 20,000 runners, or joggers, in just a few years. People would actually weigh more AFTER the marathon than when they started. You could charge about $200 per entry, get a food sponsor and make mega bucks.
Why not have 20" LCD monitors at the mile markers so that participants can stop to view a newly released DVD movie? That would be so cool!
Why not allow a separate walkathon start time so that all the pasta eaters...Oh, wait they already gave walkers their own start time.
These pasta stops (actually not a stop, just a slow down) would work if you served the pasta in edible soft taco shells so you could eat it on the run.
I think someone should organize a beer marathon.
That's the worst idea I've ever heard.
Yes. Is horrible idea.

Well, I don't know about that... if they're going to have a pasta stop, there should be a nice Pinot Grigio to go along with it.... And a gelato station should probably follow the pasta stop.
I'm thinking too some well-placed opera singers along the course singing arias from La Traviata or La Boheme. This would eliminate the need for headphones, thus saving many people from being DQ'd, although they might not make it through the sobriety checkpoints--unless some espresso stops were also set up.
I don't think it's a good idea because I'd shit myself.
this thread is everything i love and hate about letsrun.
Having a pasta stop in a marathon is ludicrous!!!!!!
Everyone knows those are reserved for ultra-marathons.
I think this might be simultaniously the best and worst thread of 2007.

This gives me a brilliant idea! How fast could someone like Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas run a pasta marathon?
Why not set up hundreds of screens along the run and translate some porn over there?
