That's going to crush my self confidence if I get passed by someone hula-hooping right before the finish line :)

I think one of the hopes with the new shirts is that more runners will wear them during the race. It certainly makes more sense than doling out the old cotton t-shirts and expecting people to run a half/full marathon in them, though I'm sure it can be done…

Tom King sounds WAY better price-wise. Smart move!

Just for the record only newbies wear the shirt during the race.. it's supposed to be a reward for completing the race so it's a cart/horse situation to wear it before you finish. A lot of races don't even give out the shirts until you've finished. Also, the synthetic shirts are FAR better than cotton for running. That's all I wear when I run whether it's a race or just a run after work.

As for the registration prices, they're already outrageous. $100 for the half is crazy (not to mention only a $5 difference between the half and full). That's one reason why I'm running the Tom King half for $45 instead. Although the hula hoopers

Seriously!? That sounds incredible! I'd totally come out and cheer just so I could see that. Is it Hooperama or something?

The best part of this year's country music will be the 50+ hula hoopers doing the half marathon! Weeeeeee!!
