You know already I am in!!!!!!!
Since you are a runner- Have you heard of a podcast by Steve Runner? He put together a virtual half marathon and 5k. Even received virtual goodybags. One could even donate to whatever charity they wanted. But there was nothing virtual about the actual running. THere were specific times and you picked a time convenient for you and ran your race. One could even pick a local race and use it to run the virtual half or virtual 5k. Steve Runner had listeners and listeners husbands/wives/children/friendsetc.etc. call in to cheer and support. You could listen to the podcast and hear the people cheering while out running.
After I was done I even received race results. I put in my time (on the honor system) and could see where I stood with all the people who participated globally.
I had fun and even felt a sense of camraderie knowing there were runners out there doing what i was doing.
Anyways, that's one idea Excelsior could borrow. A virtual Excelsior college race? I'm sure it could be worked out for more activities too.
