When GandaMan came up with the idea of putting together this thing I too initially thought he was a little loopy. Although considering this is the same person who talked me into running marathons in the first place I should have known he would sell me on the idea.

It is going to be a blast. Who has ever run a ultramarathon in a park in the center of a big city, in the middle of a Texas summer, and in the darkest part of the night? The best part is that it will be on a course with virtually no traffic, great crushe limestone trails (easy on the joints), and plenty of support. The three mile loop will allow us to keep an eye on everyone and make sure they are doing great. This is going to be interesting!

We will give out more details and our thoughts as they come to us throughout this entire process. Be sure to leave us your comments and thoughts when you visit our blog. We want to make this an ultramarathon event that people look forward to every year.
