station on
every lap and time bonuses for donuts consumed. Something like 30
seconds a
Krispy Kreme or some such.Much chucking up.

There's this interesting race called Bier-Marathon. There are different
variations of it, here's one:http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//www.bier-marathon.de/index.php%3Fpage%3Dregeln
The rules are simple:
Two runners, one cradle of beer (normaly 10 litres) and a 7km course.
The first pair two finish with a cradle of empty bottles wins - whereby
the beer has to be drunken.Immediately followed by the projectile vomiting competition.
Distance AND volume.
