I'll just sit in my tree and throw banana peels on the ground

I wasn't active last year on May - this time, I wanna be part of it.

I am looking forward to this rematch, but I think I like the avatar that .com made for me a little more than a trophy
Also Spence I love your video, I must have watched it at least 10 times. I tear up every time I watch it. Great production value.

[gahagafaga]

Weather as part of the jury or competitor, I'll be there most definitely

[MukuroY]

I'll be there! I haven't been too active lately but I can't lost this opportunity! The first Great Race was awesome and I will join again!

Count me in!!!

Hey guys, I thought of some new circuits for lobby races. They can be maybe used next time, or on casual races at least^^

Basically, this would be pretty similar to the circuit now. However, more variations would be possible, like:
1 red round
1 green round
1 black-only round

or:
1 red round
1 green round
1 red and green round

However, it's hard for the referee to keep track if more than 2 people race, under the condition that each player is allowed to choose the order of which round to run first/second/last. So these are probably only suitable for duels.


Yellow = Start Line
Purple = Finish Line (when coming from the right side!)
This one might look complicated on first sight, but it's rather simple. Since it's just "one round", it's also easy for the referee to keep track on more than 2 athletes^^.
What are your thoughts?

Hey Guys
Quick update
20th and 27th are the likely choices (27th being main choice)

Thank you for your posts guys
Good to see a mix of return runners and new blood

Also
For those that are not so active or cant be so active anymore
it would be a good chance to pop in and say hello to everyone.

Those dates are good for me.
