March 2010 Handicap Run

 JAN | FEB | MAR | APR | MAY | JUN | JUL | AUG | SEP | OCT | NOV | DEC
Green Dress Run
Saturday, March 13 @ 8:30 AM

Well thank your lucky stars
It's back!
The Famous Green Dress Run!
This is it. THE race you can not miss.

Prepare for a 4 mile hilly course.
Bring your camera as the sight is something to behold.
Running through the foothills, seeing green dresses bounding through the trails.
The faces on the usual runners and walkers who live in the neighborhood is worth it!
Back by popular request, Ed O'Heller will run his aid station above Copper, complete with Baileys Irish Cream!

New this year: a prize for best story of someone buying his own dress. What do you think of that? Start spinning a yarn about how you raided the wife's closet! Went to Goodwill with a mission to find just the right runnable dress, not too tight, not too long, flashy enough to win a prize!

Door prizes and a prize for the best green dress of course.

Really? You don't own a green dress? Or you are planning on running for office and can't be seen in a Green Dress!? Live a little! Ken O'Gordon will have his Stock of Green at the starting line so if you can not afford a green dress one will be provided for you.

Here we go! This is the one we have all been waiting for .

Invite a friend. Who wouldn't join in this Tom Foolery?

DIRECTIONS:
Now get up and early and drive to the end of Indian School off Tramway.

Unofficially, it was the largest drag race in Albuquerque history, but there wasn’t a race car in sight as over 65 ARR members and guests gathered at the Indian School trailhead for the triumphant return of Ken Gordon’s Green Dress Run.  Men and women alike turned out in costume to see how quickly they could negotiate the challenging four mile trail run, all while wearing a green dress!  And it was a sight to behold. There were sequins. There were slits. There were long dresses. There were short dresses. There was even green hair. (And lots of other hair in strange and unmentionable places.) There was even a wedding dress. And there were lots and lots of smiles and lots and lots of laughter to add to the fun.

Even with the large number of runners, the handicapping went very smoothly in the capable hands of Nicole Neault who did such a great job of putting people at the right start time that we had dozens of runners finishing within seconds of each other. In fact, they came across the line so fast it was difficult to record their times! Gimpy Holly Palmer handled the emcee duties and showed the crowd why she never made it as a cheerleader while being forced to use a bullhorn to be heard. Ken Gordon and his trusty crew of green-dress-wearing support staff did an excellent job marking the course and helping Ed Heller man the water stop.        
               
Mother Nature must have been feeling the luck of the Irish since we were blessed with pristine weather conditions including sunny skies and starting time temps in the 40s that rose to the 50s by the end of the race. This is even more amazing due to the fact that it snowed the next day.

              
The beautiful weather produced some unbelievably fast times, even with the handicap of the green dress. Joel Hamilton, who was part of a group from Golden,
Colorado that had heard about the race flew over the four mile course in a time of 23:06 to take the Fastest Male honors. He was the proud recipient of the coveted Spam trophy. On the Fastest Female side, Christy Dixon another visitor from Golden, CO ran fast enough to grab the second Spam trophy. The Best Dressed Award went to Tim Koehler who made it even more special by navigating the trails in his wedding outfit, hat and all.

Many more door prizes were awarded including some cool running socks, shamrock running hats, free entries into the Run for the Zoo and an interestingly shaped fuzzy green lamp. I’m not going to describe what it looked like…this publication is rated-G.
               
This will be a handicap that will be talked about for years. Many, many thanks to Ken Gordon and his support crew for putting together such an awesome and fun event.

               
The next stop on the handicap circuit is the April edition to be held at Kathy Kirsling’s house in
Edgewood. And you never know what surprises Kathy has in store for us, so don’t miss it. Directions and details are inside the newsletter. See you next month in Edgewood!
