Revision 5k Run
Hi! Hello! Hi there! Yes, I'm talking to YOU!
You may have heard of this new thing at Revision - something supremely unique in the demoscene. A first, if you will. Well, strictly speaking not a first, but you know what we mean. Or maybe you don't? I'm confused. In any case; what I'm talking about is the Revision 4.096k run.Yes! HOLY WOOLABALOO! A RUN, motherlickers. An honest-to-god, sweat-on-your-brow, get-off-your-fat-ass-and-run Run.
And you can be part of it!!! All you need to do is go to the infodesk and sign up, where you will be given further details. Rest assured that your friendly Lord of the Dance and all-around nice guy [run organizer] will get you all safely on your way without excessive injury.
And afterwards, you will feel good and fuzzy and warm inside. You will be on top of the world. And then you will have to face the STRAF for being so goddamn healthy.
To sum it up:
- Revision 2014 will feature a 5 kilometer (or maybe just 4096 meter) run along the beautiful Saar river
- We'll start on Saturday morning at around 11:00 and should all be back safely at 12:00 to take a shower and start watching compos
You want to participate?
- Come prepared and bring your running shoes and proper clothes
- Don't be afraid! Even if you're out of shape or very shapely - just do it. Even D.Fox did it at TRSAC and came in superlast! But he prevailed to live another day.
And don't worry about getting lost - we'll take good care of you during the run! We even hired the Danes, which are the creators of the original TRSAC 5k run, to help make this work! Guaranteed!
