Gillette Stadium, home of the five-time Super Bowl champions, will host its first marathon on September 28. The race is being billed as the only Boston Marathon qualifier ever run entirely in an NFL stadium.

quote:

Runners will be treated to a full “Friday night lights” experience with a 5 p.m. start, live music, and appearances by Patriots alumni and cheerleaders as they complete more than 100 laps around the field’s warning track to reach 26.2 miles. 

quote:

Because of the tight confinements, only 100 bibs are available. All runners must meet a $5,000 fundraising goal, with proceeds benefiting the New England Patriots Foundation to combat homelessness in the region.


To me, this would get old after about the 3rd lap. Not to mention 100 laps would probably start hurting my knees.
I'd probably pass on this, what say you?

That would be awful.

It might be interesting if they spiralized the track - it keeps getting narrower and narrower every 10 laps or so.

The finale is to spin around in a circle ten times with your head on a baseball bat. First one to sprint through the endzone wins.
