I said I'd volunteer to collect the donations for the Pennsic Drag Race... I didn't know what I was getting into but it's a charity run, being put on by Freiman from Drachenwald (Germany) to benefit the Women's Center of Beaver County (where the campground is). Here's the info. Pennsic attendees, please join! We'll still accept donations from those who don't wish to run.
The details from Freiman:
"Gentles,
This is the final update for the Drag Race at war.
Please spread this information as widely as possible. I will try to get the Independent to publish the information on this function, but they may or may not publish it.
There will be a drag race at war. This will be a function to raise money that will be donated to the Women's Center of Beaver County. The Women's Center of Beaver County is in no way associated with this endevour, and probably has never heard of it.
The idea is this. One Wednesday of War Week at Pennsic War 37 (August 6th, 2007) there will be a race. This will be a walk/run along a predetermined route with a five dollar entry fee. Each runner is required to wear clothing that is inappropriate to their gender. In the interests of maximizing donations Kilts are considered inappropriate for both genders. You CAN wear them. They count.
The Race will begin at the top of the hill in the parking lot shortly after dark. There will be a table or blanket there, as well as a sign in sheet, and a donation box.
The route will be down the main road from the parking lot, down through the main serengetti encampment, up horde hill, through the Confed encampment, across a foot bridge, and into the Clovenshield encampment.
Dreadlord Nissan Maxima of Clovenshield has pledged umbrella drinks for all runner who complete the course.
The fastest runner will be named "The Pennsic 37 Protector of Women". the runner (or walker) who raises the most money will be named "the Pennsic 37 Champion of Ladies".
Because the term "registered sex offender" is hard to wash off, all participants are required to conform to public decency laws.
Because the route is irregular, and the roads are rough, all runners and walkers are encouraged to wear good, safe running shoes. Sorry, Boys, pumps are right out.
