Last year I was pondering the idea of starting a group of tarp runners for festivarians who can’t run, like some of the long time returning folks I have seen year after year who are aging (my dad being one of these folks). I thought this would be an interesting way to build more community between the young, old and in between. Extra numbers from large campsites could be donated to this group and then we do the running? I am the sole runner for my campsite so I guess that makes it difficult to help out; maybe a two tarp policy for people who are in this ‘group’? This all sounds like I am trying to bend the rules of tarp running and maybe all of this is negated by the open tarp policy… What is everyone’s thoughts?
I love this idea. This is my first year at Telluride and I’m 62. No way I’m running with a tarp, so I guess that means I’ll be sitting miles away? I’d pay someone to run for my group.
