Are you involved yourself? (In my opinion a race is still a race if it's advertised as a race and open to others and even if only one person shows up and completes it, I'd still consider them the "winner"). I suppose it's just words? Thanks for that Mike. Are you involved yourself?

However, Richard Donovan was the only person to complete it and he did so running alone. The only reference to the word "race" was in referring to the race distance. There was no mention anyway, whatsoever, of Richard 'winning' (which he did in the second edition of the event when others also finished).

I was one of the competitors and withdrew from the race an hour before the start, so it was a race.

Doesn't that just make it a time trial? This race is pretty cool but just one question…if only one person runs a “race” like this 100k, can it still be called a “race”?

I was wondering where to run a marathon next January. I guess this would make quite a change from the Disney World Marathon! Hmmm. I was wondering where to run a marathon next January.
