Run the Lincoln Tunnel

Ever think that, given the opportunity, you could run through the Lincoln Tunnel faster than it takes to drive through it (such as today, when I spent 30 minutes of my life in stop-and-go traffic). Well, here's your opportunity. The annual Lincoln Tunnel Challenge will be held on Sunday, April 20 at 9 a.m. - an out-and-back course starting in New Jersey. Pre-registration fee is $20, more on race day.

According to the Web site:

"The South Tube will be closed and thoroughly cleaned the night before the event. The tunnel is continuously ventilated; with the inside air changed every 90 seconds. No traffic will be allowed in the tunnel until post-race."

I wouldn't recommend watching Sylvester Stallone's "Daylight" the night before ...

I ran this race in 2006. It was pouring rain. Running the tunnel was fun.
