There has been a lot of #mumblechatter about this event prior to even finalizing the venue, rules, etc. Thus, the Fort is proud to announce the first ever (that we know of) 5K Relay Race. “Fast 5, The World’s Fastest 5K” is a far cry from your standard 5K. That’s Right, 5 Men run a break-neck pace for 1 Kilometer each. Why you ask a 5K relay? Because it’s CSAUP for a completely different reason. Think of this as a mini-BRR, but instead of the Blue Ridge Parkway, we’re just running circles around Fort Mill High School’s track. We’re expecting this nonsense to be over in under 20 minutes, so we will follow it up with a workout…and then food and refreshments at Beef ‘o Brady’s in Baxter. M’s and 2.0’s are welcome!

When is this wonderful event? Who should I pick for my team? Has anyone asked Senator Tressel to be on their team yet (sadly he has been scooped up)? Some of these questions are answered below:

UPDATE 10/06/15:

Race Day is fast approaching and we wanted to give some particulars and also name names so the trash talking can commence. We will be running a loose/non-regulated relay race.  Here are the semantics:

• Each Team will be provided with a baton or bacon
• Each Team Member will run 2.5 laps around the track (slightly longer than 1K each)
• Exchange Zones will be marked on opposite sides of the track where batons are to be exchanged
• Exchange Zones are 1st Come 1st Serve as it pertains to lanes (1st to Exchange Zone may exchange in lane 1, 2nd in lane 2, etc.). Will explain on race day!
• We will be self regulating and timing.  I will communicate to the Team Captains the process.

Winners may or may not win a pound of Bacon but have exclusive bragging rights until next year!

You are encouraged to invite your family and friends!  The more people who partake in this nonsense the better. We’ve reserved The 5th Quarter at Beef ‘o Brady’s after the event for Pax and Family to mingle, eat and watch football.  And now, the list below displays those who have registered thus far. Commence #mumblechatter.

Here is a list of the 10 teams registered as of 10/06/15
