Good Bad & The Monkey
At Country Music Marathon, 2012, you can now pay $40 or more for the privilege of parking at the finish line (where there is a stadium that has lots that can hold thousands of cars).
$40+ just to park my car in a lot where in years past traffic control was so very bad you could not get your car out for several hours after finishing.
Thank you sir, may I have another?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I ran my community's little podunk marathon last fall, and I could get in my car and be gone within 5 minutes of crossing the line (if I could have walked at that point), and people are asking when I'm going to do a big city marathon. Meh. The experience of those big things don't mean that much to me. I'll still hurt the same when I'm done.
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

That's one way to ensure an emptier parking lot.

That's worth it right there. What are you gripin' about. Platinum Potties!!!!!
Not at it at all.
325th place or bust!
That's a brilliant idea! I can see how everybody who puts on a marathon is one of the 1 percent...
PR: 5K 22:41, 10K 51:05, HM 1:59, Sprint Tri: done!
Those RnR people ruin everything they touch.
WI has 25 more little marathons - With different feels - But just as easy logistics (Well - not exactly since you would have to drive to them)
I am not sure which is WI biggest? Probably Green Bay ~ 3000 cap with 7,000 cap 1/2M - then Milwaukee ~ 2700 cap with no 1/2 Marathon.
I tend to like the ones like Whistle Stop - Rails to Trails - Journeys in Eagle River
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
Good grief.

How much was the towing?

I heard about that muddy parking area. I believe, if I recall correctly, the "towing" was other runners postrace and beer-lubricated pushing and pulling in a monsoon. Sounds awesome. I'd pay a premium for that kind of service.

They are ALMOST as bad as Ennay and electronics.
