The First Ever, First Annual
Pod Trod MP3-Mile Challenge
5K Trail Race
Saturday, June 14, 2008
9:00 a.m.
Clinton Lake North Shore Trails
Lawrence, KS

Are we Nuts?  Maybe. 
Are we Nerds?  Definitely. 
Are we Geeks?  It appears so!

  • This race will have three or more courses, but start and finish at the same place and time. 
  • All courses will be approximately 3.1 miles in distance. 
  • You will not know the courses in advance. 
  • You will download one of the course's instructions in MP3 format (from our web site) the night before or the morning of the race.  It's your choice which course you pick, and it will be the "luck of the draw" as to which course is more difficult.
  • All entrants will wear IPods (or other brand MP3 players) and follow the instructions given, to complete their selected course.  (Runners will have to provide their own IPods or MP3 players). 
  • You can follow someone else, but who knows...they may not be able to follow the instructions worth a darn, and may be going absolutely the wrong way.
  • You will be required to pick-up "Trail Tokens" along the way to prove you completed the correct course.

This race will have some fun categories and awards for:
  • Trail Savant: 1st place M/F for each different course
  • Semi-TrailTarded
  • Special Idiot
  • Blind as a Cave-dwelling Fish
  • Instuctionally Hearing-impaired
  • Rock-banging Neo-Luddite
  • Lost beyond all Possible Reason
