A friend of mine had mentioned in the past that she had to submit
expedition proposals to keep her North Face sponsorship.
>From what I've heard, Dean is the only one running the 50, the rest of
the athletes listed there are North Face sponsored ultra runners...
Dean's past exploits have always had a charity tie-in, and I don't see
how his Karno's Kids Foundation wouldn't reap benefits from this
project. Then again its 190 days out or something?? Should be a lot
more info as it gets closer, cool site though.

Good ol' Deanie boy never fails to think of something. Or was it his
sponsors at the north face.
"the mission ... encourage, motivate and inspire people of all ages to
become active, make physical wellness an essential and enjoyable priority in
their lives and to promote healthy, active living across this great
country." Hoped to see a word or two about charity in there...
He's even going to AK "mayor's midnight sun marathon" 2nd, and
low-and-behold it will finish with the NYCM.
There's even a team doing this apparently, with Nikki Kimball as a team
member.
Ok be warned; now for the semi-political commentary. (I'm just in that mood
today). Well it sounds like fun I suppose, but the mission statement is
pretty lame. Dare I reveal my bias by altering it to ".. this once great
country". What people need to be more active is less mexican day laborers to
blow their leaves and mow their lawns, and more time off for recreation from
their rat-wheel hyper-consumerized diminished-wage entertainment-programmed
lives. There has never been a fatter or lazier young generation than the
current one, and it tells you something (me at least) -- how well programmed
they are to the extent that they want exactly what the corporatocracy wants
them to want in their life -- that they apparently trust (perhaps,
hopefully, only until recently) the Bush administration over the media. I'm
no fan of the corporate-owned media, but when a large segment of society
would rather not know, would rather be blissfully ignorant, you know
something is very wrong and that it will eventually explode.

The Mayor Marathon in Anchorage will be difficult to do since it is held in
JUNE not ober, but hey they could just be running the course, but they
better get permission from the US Army to cross the rifle range.

Since they're running it closer to the fall equinox, I was kinda
surprised (in a perverted way ;) ) they didn't try for the Equinox
marathon - or at least the route. Mayor's definitely has easier in/out
logistics for this type event though.
Someone that's talked with Dean at one of his book signings said that
Dean said that, yes, it's just the course, and someone from the company
is contacting all the RD's to get the layouts and whatever. Sounds like
he's just running them without having to deal with the logistics himself.
Have you found any ice-free hills to run? Although this wind is
definitely changing the situation.

I got to see him this week when he passed through town on
a booksigning tour. Other than appearing more weathered
than the book jacket picture, he seems to be a fairly ordinary
guy. He didnt seem to have any special stamina secrets other
than an iron will. HIs spiel echoed what he wrote in the book.
