Nice to hear from a local Sean.
It is going to happen, it is only a matter of time. The only problem is getting enough people to drive to WV for the rally. There are hundreds of miles of back roads that are connected where I live. If we had a serious turn out there could be media coverage and such. I would like to get an alternative sports Tv program to tape it too.
I would run it like a bass fishing contest. have entery fees and cash prizes for the top 5 or 10.( I think people might be willing to drive for 4-6hours and pay $100 to have there chance at winning $2500 for a first place prize--That is if we could get 50 people to register 6 months ahead of time.
This doesnt have to happen in WV, We could have the race anywhere. If we could only get the proper permits to hold such a race. I dont see why not since they block off the streets for joggers.
If we ran the rally so that half of the proceeds went to cancer or something then we might have a better response from the community and the media.
I think most of these Ideas apply to any kind of race.
any input would be helpful.
