I'm kinda sorta thinking about doing it next year as I've never been to Ben's (and BB, your photos from there have me craving a food I've never even tried!) if I can con...uh, I mean convince a friend or two to do it with me!

I could finish the run...but it wouldn't be pretty.

billyboy-
I could do 1/2 of that event. And it definitely isn't the running half!

Thanks for sharing Billyboy!

It's a great share...and accomplishment for those who could keep it together until the end.

As some of you may know, I took up distance running three years ago to get in better shape but I still enjoy Roadfooding from time to time. I love meeting friends old and new and indulging in some fried chicken, pizza, sandwiches and all of that fantastic food when I can. I've posted a number of Trip Reports over the years in an attempt to showcase my love for both running and Roadfood. Well, imagine my surprise when reading the Gothamist website I found a link to an article on the DCist website about a "very special" half marathon coming up in Washington, D.C. on Saturday Nov. 3rd.
Here's the link to the article: http://dcist.com/2012/10/.lf_and_half_marathon.php
And a link to the race website: http://www.halfandhalfmarathon.com

I think I've looked at the review for Ben's and some of Buffetbuster's beautiful Trip Report photos of those half smokes more times than I can remember, but I'm not so sure I could run 6.55 miles, down a chili smothered half smoke and chips, then run another 6.55 miles!

Just wanted to share in case anyone is interested.
Cheers, Billyboy
