I've never really understood this whole premise of paying for the opportunity to run. laugh

At least they give you a park ticket! Smile

I think this sounds like a lot of fun...especially the short race during the F&W Festival (because if I run that means I can eat more!)

Ha ha! I think it's a lot of fun to participate in races like this--especially the idea of running through the empty parks biggrin
