2023 Hall of Fame!

Bravest: Megan Serpa

The Halloween tutu wearing Axoloti attacking the Ghost Train Tunnel Monster with its illuminated gullet...  (cue the classic Creature Double Feature intro!)

Raw Emotion

When Jennifer Hayden finished it was like everyone had dust in their eyes, or maybe they were chopping onions.  Kudos!

Dane Holloway - Thwarted!

When you're at mile 99.8 and you're getting no respite and in fact feelings of unwelcomeness from plastic chairs!

Cleanest Shoes - Michael Wittemore

Seriously dudes, I really did run 115 miles today!  Don't look at my shoes - look at the dirt I rubbed on my left calf there!  Did I tell you I ran 115 miles today? 
(I'm wondering about that full sized Snickers next to his chair.  If it was that close to me it wouldn't last long!)

Parade of Skeletons

Karen, Karen, and Jen with some spooky friends marching down the rails.  Er, trails.

Captain Doritos!

You must get past Heather Forchilli by proving that you are worthy before having any Doritos, chips, Tostitos, Cheetos, or pretzels.  (You can eat hummis like soup all you want, even if you aren't worthy!)

Death by Forest Demon!

Edward Shibley and unnamed friend getting destroyed! (While the dude in the background doesn't even stop eating his sandwich!)

Magic Mushroom Test!

What exactly was on that slice of pizza that my crew gave me?  I should ask more questions when..  ohhhh, pretty lights!
