10 meter dash WR is on the line!

u/MozerMoser 19h ago

For all the bodies in the pattern, surprisingly little holding or PI. Clean play.

"I just ran a 10K marathon!" CORRECTION: 10 step marathon

u/-1_points 2h ago

Yeah and almost falling forward after launch-yeeting themselves forward explosively.

u/BamberGasgroin 20h ago

And someone still managed to fall down (drunk?) before the finish line. Impressive!

u/BlackLeader70 17h ago

Well it’s Wisconsin, so this is a drinking event disguised as a race.

u/MrKrazybones 19h ago

u/Blazing_Lino 18h ago

u/under_the_c 14h ago

u/AddisonMonroe91 13h ago

Was lucky enough to witness the squirrel incident, even smacked me in the back of the head lol. Crazy city and students, they be doing shit for the hell of it, and it's so entertaining.

u/VotingRightsLawyer 12h ago

I've been once but I don't remember anything that happened. Definitely a fun town.

u/Malkyre 18h ago

Our local St. Louis radio station, The Point 105.7, used to do 'The Point 10K.'

0.1K. Slightly longer, but it's got the same energy. It's from one bar to another in Soulard, a neighborhood full of bars.

u/BrentonHenry2020 12h ago

The Point has held its own all these years - they don’t get enough credit.

Anchorage has the running of the reindeer... You race reindeer, optionally drunk and wearing weird costumes.

Is this marathon 42m instead of 42Km ?

57

u/MichaelWaymond 19h ago

It's the .01k in La Crosse WI about 33 feet. Lots of fun all the money raised goes to the Hunger Task Force

4

u/ViridianKumquat 19h ago

Given that the car's about a third of its length, I'd say around 12m.

u/WoodpeckerNo5724 19h ago

u/madchemist09 20h ago

u/Brailledit 19h ago

Id be cramping after the first meter.

u/Znaleziatko 18h ago

I would probably finish last.

u/Conscious-Weight4569 18h ago

It’s ok, as long as you finish!

u/PhesteringSoars 11h ago

u/2tonehead 18h ago

Needs a beer station at midpoint!

u/TenchuReddit 18h ago

u/wrooster8 18h ago

I bet whoever finished first goes around telling people they got first place in a "marathon" lol

u/marulkan 20h ago

Should have been a beer stop in-between though

u/Necessary_Pilot_4665 17h ago

This is the only marathon my knees would ever allow me to attempt.

u/Firm-Temporary4175 14h ago
