Twilight's Last Gleaming Cross Country Challenge

The 23rd Annual Edition is set for Saturday October 25, 2008

We used to be the day before the Time Change but since the government has chosen to change the week of the change, we prefer the weather and conditions of the last Saturday in October, henceforth our race will be on that day.
Race time is 5 p.m., registration starts around 4. Everybody should be back and awards should be given out before it is too dark to see.

Entry fee: $10 $5 penalty for early registration.

This is a low key race that specializes in doing things different. Age divisions are divided into six year increments.

The course is impossible to run. Only mountain goats and sherpa guides will find this reasonable. The first mile is particularly brutal, going up a city street that my car has trouble on. Most competitors are wasted before they can consider racing. That is why the course records are so slow for this distance. Check out the Top Ten list.

You've got to be CRAZY to want to do this thing. An average of about 60 participants have entered this each year. Most come back year after year, some have never been heard from again. A missing persons file will appear at this web site after the race (along with, eventually, the results).

One very special feature this race has is it's commemorative T-Shirts, available to be sold to race survivors for a mere $30. With a deal like that, no wonder nobody has ever ordered one.
