Looks nice, well presented. Shame about all the Christian stuff though. Prayers, “inspirational” signs etc. I’m not sure I could run a race where all that stuff was so overtly preached no matter how beautiful.
That’s funny, I’ve run it 24 times and those few signs, completely unobtrusive, never fazed me one bit and I’m not an overly religious person. Not one person EVER tried to push or influence religion on me in all the years I ran it. Those signs although have scripture quotes on them were inspiration quotes more than religious doctrine quotes. Such as “rise up on wings and fly”… etc. Yes they gave a short prayer at the start, you didn’t have to participate in any of it and it’s not totally un heard of in races. I think you totally over reacted. What’s more you could not even sign your name to your comments.
Hey icarus, Ijust completed my 9th Masochist. Shame you missed out because of “all the Christian stuff”.I don’t consider myself a Christian but that has nothing to do with anything when we’re all out running in the mountainsenjoying all the spectacular scenerey an digging hard to finish. How do you live your life with that attitude. Just run, man. Just do Masochist one time, man, we’d love to have you! Don’t worry. You’ll survive all the Christian stuff.
