I wanted to do the local one this year but couldn’t due to illness. A friend did and assured me it was every bit as awesome as advertised. 🙂

Some friends from Roller Derby did this and had a blast. Some of them finished the course and then went immediately back into it and did it again.

I heard an interview with one of the organizers who stressed that anyone in moderate to good physical fitness can do it and that it’s not a race. You can take thirty minutes to do it or two hours.
