The thing is I would rather bring down the distanace and involve as many as possible than scare people away with tight limits and distances.
Just an idea that could be transcended into a fun event and give people some bragging rights afterwards...........t-shirt mandatory.
Agreed. I think 18 miles would turn a lot of people off as far as participation is concerned. Why not a standard 12 mile Infantry road march? 3 hour time limit, starting and ending at Southern Exposure. Pistol shoot at the beginning, carbine at the end, with BBQ. I'd be down for that.

this is giving me ideas for my region... i'm totally gonna bite your style.
Agreed. Add a $50.00 or $100.00 entry fee in addition to the sponsorship, would help boost the end result.
