Can I Make $10,000 from Fun Runs? || Ep. 3 - Gary Bjorklund Half
#runner #marathoner #halfmarathon #grandmasmarathon #race #canpamttdipmiocy #garybjorklundhalfmarathon #prizemoney
I'm continuing my quest to win $10,000 in prize money from fun runs in a year. In this video, I travel to Duluth, MN to race in a stacked half marathon field for a chance to win lots of cash (or potentially nothing). I had been targeting this race for months, travel with me as I leave it all out there in this race.

      I talk about it in the first video, but I'm not counting any expenses or stipends from races for the sake of this challenge - just winnings. But I'll do a breakdown analysis at the end of the series and take a look at that

    0:27 NOPE you can't, the Kenyans already thought of this and they get donations from bleeding heart suckers to pay all their expenses and have them bussed and flown in all around the country to dominate all these fun runs. You get "second stringer couldn't quite make it on the pro circuit" kenyans just ragdolling people at "bumfuk nowhere hilltop mom and pop 10k" type runs. I'm talking about the guys that come in 4th and 5th in the pro events type mofos doing this. That's what you're up against buddy. Yup they do this kinda crap, that's why Kenyans are so reviled. Edit: actually Bloomsday organizers account for this abuse and has a separate purse for US Citizens. Video didn't do a good job of explaining it. Most races don't do this though!
