Good Luck with the event Scott. I participated in the Perth Ontario Canada event that set the current record. Our event was a 5 miler. It is truly an amazing event to behold. I would recommend running in a kilt event to everyone ... you'll have a blast.
Damn, if it was only closer. Sounds like a great idea for a run, and a fantastic deal for what you get with your entry fee. Good luck on the record attempt.
