At 18 give them gummy bears or beer. It’s 21+ where the sweet release of death would be appreciated.
I’ve done 5 marathons and the thing I tell people is that I love 1/2 marathons, they’re a nice way to start the day. But there’s nothing beyond 20 miles except pain and a larger medal.
I ran by a frat house that was handing out full cans. Yes it was some cheap beer…but tasted amazing!
