| Seattle | Subject: RE: Rocky Balboa: Ultramarathoner After rewatching the original, I love his kick towards the end, where he drops all of those kids. He's gotta feel good about that. |

There' a world-class art museum right there and how many of them even realize that? Get off my lawn! |

There' a world-class art museum right there and how many of them even realize that? Get off my lawn! I've always imagined a museum employee with an office that has a view of that spot, who dies a little inside every time that happens outside their window. Hey at least the statue was at the Spectrum for most of its life so far. I remember meeting people at it for Spectrum shows, but then everyone met at the Rocky statue. I was surprised when they moved it to the AM after the Spectrum closed. I wonder how many people still expect it to be right at the top of the steps like in the movie. |

I'll start in Brian's lawn and head straight to the steps. Should be a good route. |

From my house to the top of the steps is 0.41 miles |

Also, I may need trail shoes for the cobblestone. |

Veteran 485 | Subject: RE: Rocky Balboa: Ultramarathoner Originally posted by ratherbeswimming That's it. I'm starting the Rocky 50k in Philly. That would be awesome. I finally got around to reading the article. That would be a fun race using the exact route. Please make sure the race is early in the morning...some of these neighborhoods at night are not entirely safe... |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Rocky Balboa: Ultramarathoner Have to admit, we took the kids back to Philly a couple years back (they were all born there when the better half and I were in grad school) and they all ran the steps (up to us as we filmed them). And it was after cheesesteaks. At least we then continued right into the museum. And for the record, I'm in for the 50k! Matt |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: Rocky Balboa: Ultramarathoner Originally posted by Asalzwed Well it sounds like there are a few takers for a 50k that starts at Brian'a ends with the Rocky Steps and has a beer stop and a cheesesteak food cart on the route. I'll wear the Go Pro, if you do the commentary.

There' a world-class art museum right there and how many of them even realize that? Get off my lawn! That is my favorite part of driving by the art museum. I love watching the huffing and puffing the farther up the steps the tourists get. Or just as entertaining the late night drunks tripping going up the steps. I've never done that last part either.
