AI Thread Summary
The second Antarctic Ice Marathon is scheduled for December 12, 2006, at 80 Degrees South in the interior of Antarctica, making it the southernmost 26.2-mile race globally. The event will take place in the picturesque Ellsworth Mountains. A participant expresses enthusiasm about the race and mentions the entry fee of $15,000, suggesting that funding could come from subscription fees. There is a sense of camaraderie among runners, with one volunteer offering to create their own gear for the cold conditions. The urgency of the event is highlighted, as it is set to occur the next day.

I fully expect that one of our PF runners will step up to the cube.

The price is US$15,000

...Greg can 'easily' spare that from subscription fees, in that case I don't mind volunteering. I can even print my own PF shirt or whatever gear it takes.
 
Looks cold...
 
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
I am so there!

When is it...?

Tomorrow!

Gotta go
