  • Comments: This race is as much social as sports oriented and participants need to be prepared for a lot of their co-runners to be there more for the party than the run. I saw only one Elvis impersonator but about 10 naked runners, one of them a woman. The costume runners were started after the rest of us, so didn't see too many of them. Big festival after the race. We grabbed some food, which we had to pay for disappointingly, and then hauled. The music wasn't due to start for 3 hours after we finished - which is when the course closes and all the runners are at the festival and we didn't want to wait. Race advertisers say about 60,000 people registered this year. I was the 1,964th finisher so it would have been a long wait for the rest. Official time was 1:09:55 but it took over 3 minutes to reach the Start so I think my time of 67 minutes is pretty accurate.
