You can stop reading here if so inclined, and just show up. It’s that easy. Just sign up so we will know you are coming. Bring a water bottle and a snack. I recommend room temperature Viennas with some of that Hawaiian punch in the blue can.

FAQ:
- Q: Is Flipper involved with this?
- A: That is classified, but yes, with heavy restraint, supervision, and threat of sedation.
- Q: What if I just want to hang out?
- A: That hasn’t seemed to stop the Hydra workout for the past 2 years, so come on out. Seriously.
- Q: My competing days are over. Why should I sign up for this?
- A: Let’s face it, nobody reading this stands a chance against a reasonably fast middle schooler in a cross country race. You come because the A51 pax haven’t done anything like this in a long time and it will be fun.
- Q: Can I volunteer to run events or help if I don’t want to run?
- A: Absolutely. Indicate that on the signup.
- Q: Will there be scouts from any prominent universities or NFL teams?
- A: No, but I think Joker knows a kid who is an Eagle Scout so be on the lookout for that.
- Q: I heard that lifting heavy sandbags will make your eyes look like Jack Elam.
- A: This is confirmed. They will go back in 3-4 weeks though, good as new. At least one of them.
- Q: I’m from Waxhaw, SOB, or Mint Hill. Am I invited?
- A: Yes, but remember who your daddy is.
- Q: I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.
- A: We respect your wishes. But baby, it’s cold outside.
If you are still reading this, you are really overthinking things. SIGN UP and show up. It’ll be a good time.
