Im gonna run it again. I do it every year. If youre a decent runner, start near the front otherwise youll be passing people the whole race. I learned the hard way the first year… ---

I remember I was late getting to the starting line the very first year I ran in. The gun went off as I’m jogging down Hertel and I was shocked at the wave of people that was going and going and kept going by. ---

Its a good race straight down delaware, not much elevation change. The only thing you have to worry about is the weather, sometimes its just nasty. The after party is cool too at the convention center. I would be running it but I will be out of town for thanksgiving. ---

How long is the run? I was thinking of giving it a shot but not if it is something like 26.2 miles. ---
