Need a date for the Sadie Hawkins Day race on November 20th? Post up here.... remember, guys/girls, a girl

keep up with them!), post here. Remember, you can do the race FF, MF,
MMF, MFF, MFFF, MFFFF, MFFFFF, etc....but boys, you need a female with

It's more of a "make it your own" distance. If it's like last year's race, you get to pick where you want to go from a ton of options; the further away the checkpoint is from the start, the more points it is worth. Last year, you had to go to one of the far stops in order to be counted in the finish tallies; We headed south to the Cermak checkpoint; there was a north checkpoint at Montrose. But there are other checkpoints all over the city; in past years we've been to the Wicker Park Fountain, the Handlebar, Skylark, Humboldt Park Baseball Fields, Margie's Candies, Lincoln Park Zoo entrance, The Art Institute; you get the idea. It's really a great time; I highly recommend coming out. I've been in each year's race, and it's always enjoyable.

This does sound like fun!
So…
But....
I’d only be interested in doing the race if a woman that asked me also found it offensive that the registration button was a female cartoon character punching a male cartoon character in the face.
She would also find it ironic that the theme of the Sadie Hawkins race being a couples event had any representation of domestic violence, even if it's just a representation of a male being abused. Because that's ok dont-cha-know.
That being said, I'd still like to do the race.

Actually, that's girl-on-girl violence. It's actually from a Disney movie.

julie, are you sure you need a female on your team to register? i seem to remember a price break a few years ago for teams that included a female (something like, it was $10 for men to register and $5 for women, so MF teams were 15, MM were 20, FF were 10), but it seems to be $20 per team regardless this year. i also don't see anywhere on the site that your team needs a girl on it...

Also, it's teams of two ONLY. I emailed them and had asked, as I was curious about how that would work.

This if from the "Sadie Hawkins Web site.
Any organization that thinks this is "ok" or "just funny" is mentally and morally deficient and should not be supported.

Hi Rik,
Sorry if the image offends you, but you'll have to take it up with Disney. Its a scene from a child's cartoon based on the Lilo and Stitch movie, of Lilo pouncing her best friend Myrtle. We had another concerned citizen ask about this as well and have hugged it out via email. Please bear in mind, us volunteers who are working REALLY REALLY HARD to make this happen need some comic relief now and then.
Rest assured, there is no condoned violence at Sadie Hawkins, boy-girl, girl-girl or otherwise. (That said if a team were to emulate our Lilo gif on the ride, someone might be awfully tempted to dish out MAD style points.)
