What Are The Details Of The Instant Gratification Fun Run?

The organizers describe the event as one of a kind along with honoring America.

'Absolutely NO running required! Runners cross the “finish line” the moment they start. They not only receive instant gratification, but also the celebration that follows - including cartoons drawn by world famous cartoonists (onsite), food trucks, live music, post-race massages and more. This is a celebration of fun, family, friends, and living life at your own pace!'
