You must agree to the following waiver: I agree NOT to hold the Organizer,
Ashland Track Club, Joseph Boyle, or Russian Meddling
responsible for any misfortunes I may encounter before, during, or after the
race. I agree to yield the right-of-way to motorists (who are just trying to
get to Food Lion because they forgot the canned cranberry sauce). I further
agree NOT to complain about anything to do with the race or the organizer. I
agree to accurately time myself & record my time (after finishing). As
always, NO wagering allowed. Cowbells encouraged but not required.

Barring having something better to do, Lab Rat is thinking of posting to 45 MOMM then heading up after some of that good, good Hardywood coffee afterwards.
Bonus: the reception on The Mater (102.9 FM) is really good up there!
Do you bring a t-shirt from another race and pretend you got it for this race too? Just asking for a friend, I’ll be out of town.
You can actually just pretend to run it and wear around a medal from another race!
