"In addition, Deen assured participants the walking route would include 32 water and aid stations, which will serve deep-fried, melt-in-your-mouth garlic cheese biscuits "just in case anybody gets the butter tingles." "

hahahahahaha. awesome.

I wonder if they will have a .005K in case this is too taxing for some? Laughing

If you look at the course map they do have a Half 0.5K Course marked. Going shorter than that would be, of course, ludicrous.Cool

I just hope the parking is close to the start.  Will their be a shuttle bus from the finish area back to the start line?

I do think the event is a good idea though.  It all starts with the first step and that can be a hard one for some.

Having taken time to beat the hell out of Paula Deen for pimping a drug concurrent with her announcement, I whole-heartedly laughed at every line of this one.

OMG hilarious!  I love this "In an effort to limit the depletion of energy in walkers' muscles during the "fatiguing" 1,969-inch hike, Deen suggested all participants load up on carbohydrates by eating a pan of her famous homemade batter-dipped French fries the night before the walk."

Classic!

They should also see if Richard Simmons will come out of retirement to develop a training plan for participants.
