Default JP Fitness Virtual Race

What does everyone think about setting up a virtual race for all of those willing in this forum? We could setup groups by age or experience. I suggest a 5K/10k just to keep it so most people can complete the race (including myself). The way it works, is we set a day and time and everyone runs in their area. If you have fellow forum members close, run with them. Once you're done everyone put their time in a post, and we find the winners for each group.

We have some clever guys on the forum that can come up with fun groups, but here was my first stab at it.

Weight Lifters Only (I only run between the squat rack and bench press)
Cardio Class Buffs (I run occasionally but I can step for hours)
Heart Runners (I run only because the Doctor makes me)
Fat-loss (Running to lose weight)
Tri-athletes (I can't think of anything clever)
Trail Runner (why run on asphalt when you can run in the mountains)
Runners (I warm up with a 5 mile sprint)

I've seen this done on the Nike+ website and it seems to work pretty well. If it goes well, next time we could get t-shirts or even raise money for a charity.
