A St. Patrick's Day Parade Route Race?


This past weekend at City Market's officially new "Country Day kid" hangout, Rooftop, Joe presented a brilliant idea to Patrick and our old blogger friend Stephen. (This new idea is in addition to the idea of creating a St. Patrick's Day-like men's social club to celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade... for white guys)

A week or so before March 17th, the Irish Hurricanes should host a footrace that follows the sacred parade route through The Historic District, which spands about 3 miles. And, from a suggestion by Patrick, each runner must chug one beer at Skyler's on Bay Street.

The prize?

There is no prize... your reward is the opportunity to run the greatest parade route on Earth.

But, the contestant finishing last (which most likely will be Snuffy) must purchase the post race beer for all participants. The party is to be held at Joe and Stephen's downtown apartment... (assuming they get the apartment they want by March 1st.)

I would not be able to participate. I have a wedding that weekend. But I am sure I could beat Snuffy.
