wish i could. i get tired just driving over it.

I usaully do it but the last year I have been having a bad knee problem. I love doing it but if you dont have a good shoe on then it kills your body.

Seriously. I walked to the center of the bridge 6 years ago to take pictures and to say that I walked on it. My legs still hurt to think about it and it took entirely too much effort for me to get that far :(. Could barely push the clutch in to drive back home.

Thinking about doing it.

I will be stationed in New York by then.

I want to do it this coming year, hopefully I'll be ready by then. Doubtful but I'll try lol

Um yeah. NO.

But they'll have beer at the top... :cheers

OH RLY?:cheers

Ill be there.

I just signed up

beer won't help me if i die trying to get to the top.

Possibly

I think I'll just wait for everyone where the beer is :cheers

No huevos

The wife and I did it in 2010. It was fun. I thought I was going to die. I'd do it again if I could still jog. Damn bone spurs..And yeah my feet were effing killing me.

Whats it like? Incline & decline?

I remember the bridge run being the only race around here that DOESN'T have beer.

Hell No

lmao

wanna go fish under it and wave to the fit peeps? Me, you, and Tyler in my boat....someone betta call the Coast Gaurd!

Youre gonna need a bigger boat.

Its not bad at all. It's crowded but nothing horrible. Lots of costumes and general goofiness. The run to the start of the bridge is pretty easy and there were a few bands playing on the side of the road so that made it even more intertaining.

Once you hit the bottom of the bridge thats when people slow down and you start bobbing and weaving fuckers left and right. The incline is alot steeper than one would think just by driving over it. But just keep a steady pace, which at times might seem impossible due to the vast amount of "runners" who walk up the entire incline of the bridge. I did have to stop running but kept a good pace walking for 5 minutes and then pushing thru for 5 minutes. Yeah I was/am way out of shape but felt that running the bridge is something everyone should do atleast once. Plus my wife had a shit load of her peers from her sqaudron all meet there and they had already ran 3 5ks and another 10k as a group preparing for the bridge.

The decline...not what you think. I felt that once I hit the crest that I would just cadillac all the way down. NOT. To me the decline was just as difficult as the incline but when I used to run I would always try and look as far ahead as I can and focus on an object and push it till I got there. Looking down the bridge could be a bit demoralizing for some as you can see exactly how much further you have..lol

Overall it was a great experience that I hope I can do again one day..Get there really early, dont forget your ipod. Drinks are plentiful and all the free food and shit at the end of the race is a nice plus. We all went for drinks and then rode all the buses back across the bridge. Some people say you should take two cars and park one downtown the night before. We had no problem getting back and getting out of traffic. Downtown was a mess and I would have hated to fight that traffic..

Wear some comfortable broken in shoes! I saw quite a few people without shoes towards the end of the race most with popped blisters and just a overall bloody mess down there..lol


Hope this gave you some sort of insight as to what it was like. I'm sure you will have fun and not need to visit one of the many amberlampse they have stationed all through the race.

We saw a guy die while his teenage daughter watched the last time my wife and I ran it.

welcome mr. buzz kill.


that is awful thing for a child to have to see.

rep for you.

i want to...but my acl surgery says no...
