Electric Coney Fourth Annual Labor Day 0.5K

The Electric Coney 0.5K is the world's oldest annual race of any distance and ranks as one of the world's best-known road racing events. Attracting an elite field of slackers, nobodys and has beens, the event attracts tens, and possibly dozens of spectators along the route, making it Shaw's most viewed sporting event.
