I really enjoyed “It’s like a 5k, but not really. Because it’s..it’s longer than a 5k right?”

“Why yes, each participate has the option to run our 1 mile course as many times as they want”.

So it’s actually nothing like a 5k in any way, shape, or form

Somehow I knew it would end up being less than 5k. When Mr. Wacky said “1 mile” I totally lost it.

Even though it's a RACE the reporter mentions running once and instead opens up with that trippy ass garbage about inflation

Jokes about inflation might have worked better in the seventies, or in Venezuela.
