Mother Road 100, a one-time running event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the opening of Route 66 highway.

A 100 mile footrace commenced at 7:00 AM Saturday morning from the Round Barn in Arcadia, east of Edmond.



It ended 30 hours later at the Carl's Junior burger joint 2-1/2 miles from my house. Early Sunday morning, about 6:30 AM, less than 24 hours after the start, I saw runners on the old Route 66. When I got around by the Carl's Junior, I saw the inflatable finish line gate with people gathered around.

Carl Senior not available for comment.
