Chernarus Marathon!

[Moon Jesus 1]

Alright suckas, I am trying to organize a DayZ marathon. I am going to need some volunteers to help me organize the race and of course I am going to need runners!

So some basic info:

• The race will start on the outskirts of Kamenka and will end in a soon to be set end point at Otmel.
  
• The race will be run along the coastal highway, runners will be expected to run along the highway the entire time even through towns. Running off the road but not too far from, like on the grass next to it is okay but straying off into the mountains will not be permitted.
  
• The marathon is basically a death race in the sense that if a player is killed by a zombie or other hazard then they are disqualified. Players cannot kill each other and aren't allowed to use weapons during the race. Its you and your feet. Food and water will be permitted. One runner killing another runner will result in the disqualification of the murderer.
  
• The date of the race will most likely be either the 22nd or 23rd of August at around 10pm EST. The date/time will be decided by monday.
  
• The first player to cross the finish line will be the champion of the first ever DayZ marathon. Myself and some others will be documenting the race on film by following the racers on bikes and other vehicles. We want to film the race so everyone can see.
  

Volunteers:

• I am going to need the help of close to ten volunteers.
  
• I am going to need the help of players to help get some vehicles running for the race. A car or two and some bicycles are necessary. These will be used by trusted volunteers to monitor the race so we can catch any cheaters.
  
• I am going to need a server with a shit load of slots. Anyone willing to volunteer their server PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I want to select a server with good connection and that will be in daylight hours during the race. I want to keep the server unknown to everyone except the runners and volunteers, just to prevent people joining just to be trolls. I realize other people will be on the server that could interfere with the race. Shit happens.
  
• IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER PLEASE POST YOUR AVAILABILITY AND I WILL CONTACT YOU VIA MESSAGE ON THE FORUMS IF I WANT YOUR HELP.
  

Runners:

• If you would like to run in the race PLEASE POST WITH YOUR AVAILABILITY. PLEASE LIST THE HOURS OF THE DAY YOU WILL BE AVAILABLE (EST PLEASE) ON THE 23RD AND 24TH OF AUGUST.
  
• If you win the race, you will be crowned champion of the universe. For running in DayZ at least.
  
• There will be 20 spots for runners! So act fast!
  
• There will be 15 spots for backup runners! You will need to be available before the race in case one of the main runners is absent. If a main runner is absent you will be called upon to fill his spot! If you miss out then we just keep asking all the backup runners until we get someone. If we only have 18 runners to start the race then so be it!
  

If the race is a success I plan on doing more.

DEADLINE FOR ALL RUNNER AND VOLUNTEER APPLICANTS IS TUESDAY AT MIDNIGHT EST.
