The competition never ends. It's just been reduced to style points.
Doesn't excite me. I normally just crush all the little kids in the mile fun run that only costs $5 and then I eat as much food as I can before those dupes running the 5k get back in 25 or 30 minutes.
I want to go.
And kick everyone in the shins.

$35 cover charge to a bar. Ok.
I heard you have to navigate a slew of swinging baseball bats aimed at your knees on the last 400m.

Do you find yourself a bit too intimidated by non-timed concept runs? Does the idea of running seem great, but the actual physical movement prove to be just too demanding? Or do you, perhaps, just have too much disposable income and $35 for a t-shirt and beer sounds like a bargain?
Well, look no further...
I don't support races anymore that "a portion of the proceeds will go to a charity." Complete BS.
Color runs, obstacle course runs. ....remember kids, this is the future of the sport of running. 99.99% of the running population wants an "experience". They have made the marathon into an experience that anyone can accomplish with minimal training. Color runs/obstacle course runs are just the next big thing funding the interest, participantion and ultimately swag/awards/$$$ at your next "serious" road race.
LRs like to poo poo on those slower runners, but you are biting the hand that feeds you.

Can someone post a link to a picture of the medal?

Huh? I do this almost every day.
Does it come with a 0.0 sticker for your car?
I usually get high with my black light on. Then after that wears off I go for a run.
“We wanted to bring together the traditional runner who wants to go out and have a good time at a running-themed event and their nonrunner friends who are usually stuck on the sidelines cheering,”
Silly me, I always thought traditional runners wanted to go out and, you know, RUN. How wrong I was!
What's the over/under on how many "participants" they actually get?
Honestly, the idea of this is so absurd, people will sign up.
