Magnus Gluteus Maximus 50K

Description:

Formerly known as the Ponga Craka 50km Fat Ass.

A little run through the southern section of the Massanutten Mountain Range in western Virginia. The running event is named for the old charcoal blast furnace. Magnus Gluteus Maximus is the VHTRC’s annual “fat ass 50.” In prior years, to be different (who us?), we used various languages–French, German, Italian, Vietnamese, Latin, Swedish, Jamaican Patios, New Guinea Pidgin, Chinese, Hawaiian an anagram from “Fat Ass Fifty K” that came out as “Fat Taffy Kiss,” Thai, Ukrainian, and Japanese. A couple of years ago, we decided to pick one name and stick with it. So we choose Latin. If it’s good enough for the Catholic church, it’s good enough for us.
