Hey Kent,
Here's an idea, Paul may want to pick up on this as well for his Keys Back Country Kite Adventure. PLAN to finish in the swamps and make traversing of a solid mass of mangroves over several miles part of the race? Everybody has to bring their gear through the swamp with them. You could award extra points for most mosquito bites and kiters contracting yellow fever or Elephantitus really score big! Bet you could even get one of these mindless reality TV programs to cover it? We could call it, "Kent's Keys Kite Swamp Challenge!"
What do you think?
Kent n crew on pre-race. Didn't know you were into tartan? Uh, mind leeches up yer kilt, that's a good laddie.
p.s. - I hope you don't run it this weekend, I'd like to join in (without the swamp).
