Breaking 911:
[…] Virtual offerings for participants during that week will include exclusive panel discussions, champions interviews, and a downloadable Boston Marathon toolkit that includes signature race elements such as a printable finish line, winner’s breaktape, and more. more
…I hope that “Winner’s Tape” is for winning at the Pussification of America, ’cause that’s all they’re winning at now…
“…The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) has announced that the 124th Boston Marathon will be held as a virtual event…”
Hell, I could probably compete in a virtual marathon. My fingers are in shape and ready to run. How do I sign up?
You have to provide proof of your time running 26.2 miles. How? A 3 hour go-pro video?
I’m guessing pressure cookers will be of minimal concern.
Why not just use looters as the runners?
Then let the Boston Marathon bomber out of prison with a bomb on him, and throw him into the looter crowd. (Handcuff him to obama and hillary clinton.)
Whatever looters surivive, have a contest to see who can shoot the most of them when they get near finish line (the car they’re trying to load their stolen shit into).
The winner gets to keep his stolen tv, after he gets out of prison.
It’ll be the best tv event ever.
I just set a record for my age group. Where do I send my time?
jellybean – LOL!
I will put mine in the background when I send in my running video.
So who wins? The person who uploads the video first?
Why even bother? A virtual marathon is just dumb.
First mental image I got: a zoom [<—lol] event with everyone on treadmills.
Next year, tie-down obama, clinton, kerry, pelosi, biden, soros, bezos, harvard’s dean, the publisher of the ny times, among others onto the street in front of the starting point.
Then release the runners.
Online marathon and mail-in voting. What do they have in common?
i ain’t runnin’ 26.2 FEET!

“…Online marathon and mail-in voting. What do they have in common?…”
Hmmm, that’s a stumper. Let me see…could it be…naaw no way…but maybe, just maybe…FRAUD? Just a wild ass guess, I’m sure that would never happen (snicker snicker, guffaw guffaw!)
And the trophies will be made of genuine imitation plastic.
Forget the Marathon, half the time the runner’s look like they could use a good meal.
I always thought Marathons were just dumb. Some of these people wind up with physical ailments, I guess they think their doing their bodies good.
Wait a minute. Entry fees will be refunded? Do people actually pay to run 26 miles?
As a warm up, I just virtually completed the Marathon route in 20 minutes, 14.6 seconds.
Finally, a Marathon I can win!
I hear that Rosie Ruiz may enter the virtual race (three-quarters into the virtual course)
