El Scorcho Anyone?

It's time to think about summer madness….I mean time to think about entering El Scorcho. Yes, in the Fort Worth running community we have an annual tradition of running around like idiots in the dark in the middle of summer. It's actually completely crazy but fun! Bring your lawn chairs, tents, and coolers. Sleeping bags are allowed and kids are invited to spectate. You can run a 25K or 50K, no there isn't anything shorter, and its done in loops of 5K that are somewhat lit. This is a race for real runners who enjoy the grass roots of our sport, or in other words; a bunch of lunatics who think running around at midnight in the heat of the summer is fun! Come join the fun! The field is limited so if you wait too long it will be full……I promise you it is a fun, slightly psychotic time and the shirt is worn like a badge stamping you a real runner! (or just a real lunatic!
