THE LARDBUTT 1K RUN

This Saturday, the Lardbutt 1k returns to Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington. It’s a .62 mile race that’s not really a race, but rather, a way to poke fun at all those other marathons. Runners who bolt from the starting line are booed. The point of the Lardbutt 1K is to “slow down, take it easy, and not be so serious.” When runners hit the track they find out that, instead of water stations, there are donut stations. The goal, say organizers, is just to finish the race, have fun, and enjoy some donuts.
* Not much different than my daily routine. Why would I want to spoil that by running in a race?
* I’ll do it if someone will put wheels on my recliner and pull me.
* You have to run, before all the good donuts are taken.
* It’s the only race where you weigh more afterwards than you did before it started.
* Can you run it riding one of those Rascal scooters?
* The Lardbutt 1K. The K must stand for Kardashian.
