OK - I'll start. Being from the south, I have run the "Sopchoppy Worm Grunter's 5K". Surprisingly, the t-shirt wasn't bad looking - even with pinkish colored worms on it! Surprised

Anyone else got one?

Toad Suck? Is that Conway? Right on... I ran the Fall Creek Thaw 15k. Now, that's not too bad of a stretch, but I didn't really get the Thaw part since it was in the South on a 70 degree day.

On my local running club's calendar: "Mayhaw Festival" 5K - I think it's a tree nut or fruit that jelly can be made from... "Gnat Days" 5K - and I probably won't do it again because there were so many gnats getting in my face! "Draggin' Tail" Ultra & 18 Miler - GREAT t-shirts! "Mall Rat Duathlon" Confused

Schlotzsky's 5k Bun Run. Silly T-shirt - a running sandwich with the slogan, "FEED THE KNEAD TO MOVE YOUR BUNS." Tongue

Stupid Little 10 miler instead of a t-shirt, they gave away pencils. the awards were random trophies... beauty queens, horse jockeys, etc... it was one of my favorite races. Berryville, Va. My husband is from Michigan and I would like to coordinate a visit in time for the 10 mile race in Hell, MI called Run Through Hell. I just want the T-shirt. And even though everybody's heard of it, I still want to do the Flying Pig.

Last year it took a few months to get close to filling, but it may fill faster this year. Trent has been doing a lot of, shall we say, grassroots promotion.
