so... I had randomly tossed out the idea to Trinity (the bah down the street from the Bog) of doing some sort of summer party/tap takeover. They were immediately in. They then said, "hey, maybe we can do some sort of fundrasier"... and we would be down with that. While this was going on, I was thinking, "Hmm... a 'Bog Iron 5K Road Race' would be cool"... but then I found out what that entails. You need permits, cops to close streets, and EMT and ambulance on call, DPW needs to weigh in... so... EFF that.
and then I realized... organizing a road race would be way easier if you didn't have to deal with all of the running crap.
Thus was born....
The First Annual Bog Iron 0.0K Road Race.
We're waiting for Trinity to lock down the date but... the event will start at... say 2:00pm on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The race will start at maybe 3:00 and we'll let folks know the race is expected to last about 15 minutes. At 3:00, we announce "Ready?? Set! GO!!!"... and everyone just stands there.
Around the 15 minute mark... we encourage people to keep up the pace! Almost there!! Annnnnnnnd DONE!!! and everyone ties for first place.
burgers, dogs, etc out on the patio grills... food from the kitchen... discount pints and we'll have 7-8 beers on... live music... etc.
We are going to open it for the first 30 days just to "racer registrations". We THINK to register for the race, it'll be $40 but for that $40, you get an official Bog Iron 0.0K t-shirt, a numbered running bib, and a medal for coming in first place. (those things are about $20). The other $20 is the ticket to get in... all proceeds go to charity. If we don't sell out the 200 spots at Trinity with racers, we'll open the event up to "spectators" at just the $20 a head. They can get in for $20 but don't get the t-shirts etc. We'll probably do raffles... prizes for best running outfit, etc.
Slogan is going to be "We stand for charity".
I've been training for a week solid now.
Sounds like way too much work just to get some of your beer. Standing for 15 minutes? Seriously?
I'm in for the Bogathon. I'm smoke all of you *****enozzles, I've been standing around for way longer than most of you.
...
Meh. It was the "Bunny Hop 5K" fundraiser for a local homeless shelter. What did you ******** do with your Saturday morning?
Not much. I pruned the orchard. I pruned the vineyard. I fertilized the yard. And I mixed 35 eighty pound bags of concrete mix in a wheelbarrow by meself, bucketed it into place and smoothed it off. Then I drank a beer and went to bed. Other than that I screwed off all day.

Hey Cape...
I volunteer to be the Grandmaster Cheif Poobah Official Muckeymuck for you at the Bogathon. I can be the Starter and I can also come in off the bench and close. I'll station myself at the finish and take the Official Photo Finish. I'll man the First Aide Tent and give out those cool aluminum foil blankets. And I can start IV's and mainline some Bog Water into the not-runners who might get dehydrated. Waddah ya say? I just want one of those spiffy Bog Strong tee shirts.
ehhhhhhh... no
Confirmed today that Joe Andruzzi is going to be a "celebrity bartender" for this thing. Kinda cool.
the response on the Book of Faces for this thing has been nuts. I honestly think it's going to sell out in under an hour.
