Something for one of the good local charities we have around here. I wonder if I have enough pull with our crappy city council to get it accomplished

Check out insurance for your event as well. I would assume they would require it, or if they don't you would at least look like you have your shit together.

yeah that was my first thought. Even if the riders sign a waiver if someone is there watching and trips on a french fry, the event could be liable

Somebody who will remain nameless... let's call him "snowpolly"... once made the mistake of running an illegal 50/50 raffle for charity since it was not registered with his state.

Yes, but fortunately he hadn't run it yet and the state saw it as an honest mistake.

Oh I totally want to do this now. Might not be worth it giving I'm moving. Might have to wait until the next city.

We ran in the Red Bull Soapbox Race a few years ago here in atlanta. Huge fun.
