TOTO Run

My husband likes to run...a lot.  One of his favorite races that he runs in every year is a trail ultra marathon (26+ miles) that starts at 11pm.  He has ran it twice now and his brother in TX always comes up to do it too.  Well this year it looked like the race wasn't going to happen so they planned there own.  

Ben designed a logo and we decided to do a whole Wizard of Oz theme since their plan was to run from our house to Wamego and then back to their friend Todd's house.  So it would be a 50K (around 31 miles).  

The logo Ben made.  TOTO stands for Trek Overnight To Oz.


Here are the medals I made, I used a Wizard of Oz Christmas ornament with rainbow ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby.  I even sewed them to look like the other marathon medals. 

Here they are wrapped, we designated a character from the movie for each guy.  Adam was the tinman, Ben was the scarecrow, Jamie (Ben's friend) was the lion and Clay (Adam's boss) was the Wizard.
All the boys before the run, Clay, Jamie, Adam, Ben and Todd.  Todd didn't run, he was the crew member that took care of them.  (He got a flying monkey bobble head for his hard work.)

My favorite part was the next day as Adam was making phone calls he referred to his 31 mile race as "a little run".
