-Update: Glen will be traveling on a more Southern route through Arizona and New Mexico to avoid large amounts of snowfall present on the original route. He will be on the 70 and the I-10 until he joins back up with the original route in Roswell, NM.
Glen R. Turner will be running, scooting and zzzooming across the United States beginning on February 17, 2008. Glen will be traveling inside a custom built running cart called "Zzzoomer" that doubles as a sleeping shelter. (Think Forrest Gump meets Fred Flinstone). Since Glen can fully support his weight while "riding" the zzzoomer down hills, he is creating a new category of cross country travel. He will be unsupported for the duration of his trip, meaning that he will carry all of his own supplies in his cart (he will restock supplies in towns along the way). Glen's route will travel 2500 miles through eight states along the southern portion of the United States.
In addition to the launch of the zzzoomer cart, Glen will be challenging student and community teams from across the country in a cumulative, weighted "virtual race" online. Students from 3rd grade to college and community members are encouraged to sign up a team and record their running distances on the team log pages. Results will be calculated and posted weekly to see how teams match up with each other and Glen's progress. Support Glen today by joining a team, sponsoring his run or visiting his online store.
