I always look forward to this video each year. The crew at Flotrack, inspired by, perhaps, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the one with Gene Wilder), take us to crazytown for the Brooks PR invitational announcement.
The level of dementia has been increased this year. I like it.
The Brooks PR Invitational will be in its third year, and it is a strong success. Bringing the best prepsters from 60 meters to two miles and letting them run fast on a very fast track is a great idea. It is also important that Brooks, the top performance running brand in run specialty, continues to support the development of the sport.
