The meaning behind the name:

"You better Pack a lunch, it's gonna be a while!"

For years now we have been participating in events together as every day people; not competing for an individual place on a podium, rather, a place in the hearts of the athletes who could not start or finish these event on their own. 

We take the time on the course to: laugh, stop and take pictures, dance to the music and not take the race of life seriously.
