smart race marketing, but regardless I would like to see us overrun Kenan on a non football Saturday.

Currently we're a few entrants behind Duke. I'm not going to be able to make it down to run, but if you like to run, consider doing this and wearing as much red as possible. Maybe even paint yourself. Then roll around in the grass at Kenan after you finish and smear red all over the field.

The contest ends on 3/5/10 so register now if you think you're gonna make it.

***I am in no way affiliated with the race or any of its sponsors. I just love being an obnoxious Wolfpack fan at any opportunity.***

i would totally do this if i was going to be in town

since i cant, i will promote it on facebook to my runner friends

I LOVE running. And I love NCSU. But this sounds really REALLY dumb to me.

what. running 10 miles, ostensibly while wearing some sort of NCSU apparel in order to counter the large tide of UNC runners?

someone should pull your NC State fan card if you think that in any way sounds dumb.

yeah sounds dumb. If you really want to stick it to Carolina, start a Wolfpack 10 miler and have a larger turnout. Why waste your money registering for that particular race just to prove you are a wolfpack fan. be obnoxious.

i guess we should also never go to away games at Kenan again. You hear that everybody? No one show up to the State/Carolina game when it's at Carolina. It's DUMB.

I ran the Eve Carson 5k in full Wolfpack basketball attire. I thought someone was going to shoot me.

2/25/2010 1:09:08 PM

^^ are you seriously comparing a collegiate game to a race used to raise money for the YMCA?

2/25/2010 1:28:09 PM

i agree, this is lame

2/25/2010 1:29:59 PM

so much eyeroll ITT

am i comparing the two? absolutely. they're both events held in UNC-fan heavy environments, and it's always fun to show up sporting some wolfpack red in the middle of any situation like that. ask anyone who has ever sat in kenan when we take it over. it's a built-in function of the race already and we are second to duke anyways, it's not like im talking about a hostile takeover here.

you act like im trying to start a movement to hijack the race or something...

comparing a fundraiser to a college football game is laughable. To each his own, I don't feel the need to whip out my Wolfpack loyalty card at every given opportunity.

Just because people think this is a dumb idea, which it is, does not make them bad state fans.

rimshot!

Seriously, Agent 0 can suck my balls.

This is dumb.

2/25/2010 2:39:15 PM

im pretty sure you're free to not show up and that wont make you a bad fan

but denouncing an opportunity to rep NC State in a non-friendly setting is dumb?

stop it.

2/25/2010 2:52:05 PM

People denouncing this are just fatasses who can't run. Don't let it bother you.

2/25/2010 2:52:57 PM

2/25/2010 2:58:16 PM

How is this dumb? If anything its a "nothing to see here move along" deal. No need to hate if you're not interested.

2/25/2010 3:22:45 PM

^ agreed. It's a legitimate thread and if you think it's dumb, then don't partake. I think it's kinda neat, but i can't come close to running 10 miles, so it would be embarrising moreso to go with red on.

2/25/2010 3:52:32 PM

I didnt make a big deal of it. You can thank Agent 0 for that.

And I am far from a fatty who cant run. I will be glad to run a 10 miler with anyone on here. Name the time and place

2/25/2010 4:10:03 PM

You're all welcome.

2/25/2010 4:46:29 PM

I am free to express my opinion, as did Agent 0.

I just don't have the same

attitude.

FYI I was signed up for this race two weeks ago, before I heard of this dumb marketing ploy. I must be one of those can't run fatasses

If you really want to show some school pride, run in the race but you have to be good...here's what you do:

1. Get a starting spot in the front of the pack
2. When the gun sounds, start sprinting as fast as you can...do not pace yourself
3. Once you have a small lead over the rest of the pack of UNC runners, go to step 4
4. Strategically drop large piles of steel caltrops into the paths of the other runners
5. Sprint ahead some more, then hide in the bushes
6. Profit
