Run through the Fort McHenry Tunnel!
You've sped through the Fort McHenry Tunnel and chances are you've crawled through in a traffic jam, too. Well here's a chance to walk or run through the world's widest, underwater-vehicular tunnel, which takes Interstate 95 under the Baltimore harbor.
Entries are being accepted for the Maryland Transportation Authority's Fort McHenry 5K Tunnel Run/Walk on Sept. 19. Advance registration costs $25, and additional fundraising is encouraged for the Special Olympics.
Sounds like a blast, but am I the only one who is a little creeped out by the prospect of running underground?

Does that $25 also include the Toll?

I wish they did this yesterday afternoon, because of the accident, it would have taken me less time to run through the tunnel than it did for me to drive.

Underground AND underwater, no less. I'm contemplating signing up for the race. Just need to see if I can do it without huffing and puffing the whole way and if the schedule permits it (i.e. if my wife permits me to go!).
