Magnum10K Introduction

#1 Post by Magnum10K »

Greetings!

This website has been a tremendous resource for me, it's truly amazing.

I'm running the Richmond VA Monument Avenue 10K on April 9th and I'm dressing as Magnum, complete with Ferrari. A friend is going to be T.C. complete with his chopper. Really looking forward to it, and this site has proved to be THE AUTHORITY on all things Magnum.

Follow the progress on social media, leading up to the big day:

Annnd here is my TV interview with a local CBS affiliate:

Hi Magnum10K,

That was a fun interview to watch. I enjoyed that you kept in character the whole time!
Your Ferrari cut-out is looking really good.....I'm guessing the paint job is next.
Best of luck in the race! I hope they have a prize for the best costume....you have my vote.
Keep us posted.

Well done Magnum10K!!!
Great detail on the 308....nice touch with your running number being used as the lic. plate for the Ferrari.
Did Thomas beat the chopper in the race? :wink:
I'll be shocked if you don't win for best costume.
Any other races planned?
Thanks for sharing this with us!

Well. I got second place. The voting was unlimited; and clearly, someone took that to heart.
Take a look at the winner and let me know what you think:

Here is the YouTube video I made with some race highlights:

Article from local newspaper:

It was lots of fun. Would have loved to take first place, but all the money is going to charity and the crowd reactions were fantastic.


If you voted, I appreciate it!
