A few people I know may be interested in adding a couple of these races to their Bucket List;
Races for wine lovers. Wineglass has been done and will be done again this fall by at least one of our readers. The Oregon and Disney races are probably ones Jan and I will participate in at some point.
Never say you are too old to run a marathon! Harriette Thompson, 92 years old, just completed the San Diego Rock & Roll marathon in 7 hours and 24 minutes, breaking the world record for her age group by 2.5 hours!
An article on the recent ruling that World Triathlon Company (Ironman events) has to refund lottery entry funds from their Kona World Championship Triathlon was interesting. Last year more than 14,000 people paid $50 for a chance to get 1 of 100 spots. People who entered the lottery since 2012 will be getting refunds, a total of 2.76 million dollars. I'm not sure why they only had to go back to 2012 since they have been charging for this chance since 1989. There are many races that offer lotteries since they sell out so quickly, but usually they don't charge for the privilege. The lottery also has to last longer than 30 days and earn a minimum of $2k in a single day.
