| 10 | The lottery is fixed. To me a lottery implies an equal chance for all. I'm not convinced. | ||||
| 9 | Running back down shouldn't be faster than driving down. | ||||
| 8 | The weather can be brutal (see horizontal rain, 50mph winds). | ||||
| 7 | One year they actually had purple shirts. Really? Sorry, not a good color for race shirts. | ||||
| 6 | Too many people are OBSESSED with this race. You know who you are. | ||||
| 5 | If you don't finish in the top 20 nobody cares. | ||||
| 4 | I don’t care about the endless stats, streaks & records. (see #5) | ||||
| 3 | $80 entry fee. Enough said. | ||||
| 2 | Walking shouldn't be as fast (or faster) than running. | ||||
| 1 | There's only one hill. |
With that being said, If you're a runner in New England, I'd still recommend you do this race....once.
