Re: NBR Fifth Avenue Mile Start List

Let's just say that the start of the race can get pretty rough. Mathematically, it's like this: (team champs x empire state building run-up x a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds throwing elbows). If you throw chicken wings on both sides, you're more likely to stay upright. If you hear screaming, keep running. Also be cautious of the kid with crutches who seems to think it's a good idea to push to the front off the start.

OK
