flyinggoose 0 #1 November 8, 2003 Are there 26 people that would be willing to run the Kentucky Derby marathon (april 24, 2004) and then do a 26-way afterwards(probably a first, 26 cases)? There's a DZ 35 miles away and the race starts at 7 a.m.(plenty of time to go through a few jumps and do a 26 way after the run) Just think of all the free beer you could drink that evening!!! I get alot from "whuffos" for both. "why do you want to run that far?" and "why do you blah...blah....blah...?" I am not a big-way organizer (just read my profile) but think this would be one helluva day. I will be running with some whuffo buddies (they run for cash, but love beer) and will be looking to play afterwards anyway. "Never waste a heartbeat."

jumper03 0 #2 November 8, 2003 hmmm. I was going to enter the country music marathon in Nashville on the same day. Does the Kentucky race have a website so I can check out the course? JumpScars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wzettler 0 #4 November 8, 2003 will the 26-way be falling fast enough for stingers? I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #5 November 8, 2003 i've ran 30+ miles in one day, and i've ran ~20ish a lot of times. Never in a race, 99% of people would be HARD PRESSED to complete a marathon. How about builing a 5 way after running a 5k? Most people could do that! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

Kramer 0 #7 November 8, 2003 flyinggoose- I love this idea! I live in Indiana...unfortunetly, you caught me about a year too early. I'm training for a marathon right now, and I don't yet have my A license...although I will within a year. So yeah...hit me up again next year, and I'm in. It sounds super hard-core. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
