I'm in... to make this more accessible for more people, how about the 1st Annual Icrontic Expo 5k... it could be done in less than an hour and a half easily and many more people would find this doable as opposed to the much anticipated "Run-til-You-Drop-Athon"..
I actually thought @Teramona had a great idea. Why not make a 5k loop and then who is up to it do a 10 mile second loop, or out and back? Have something where a lot of group can be a part and then a second part for a pack that wants to do a half can take off together.
With the half I was envisioning something close to the run we did where a 10 or 9 minute pace is set and we hold that for the whole run so we stay together and "bond". Then the last mile is a free for all .
I'm all for whatever... 1/2 M, 5k, 10k... doesn't matter... just as long as I get out on the pavement one of the mornings... I do think that we should end with everyone at a local breakfast establishment though... gotta load back up on the carbs somehow!

I'm with GQ. I can finish a 5k, but my definition of run differs from alot of you, I'm sure. Just as an idea, if I finish a 5k in under 45 minutes I'm happy.
I think the only open mornings are Thursday and Saturday: @primesuspect. I would prefer to do it Saturday morning because that would give the best chance for total participation, but if it gets knocked to Thursday eh. Because this is my United States of whatever!
The early projection for temperatures is a low around 62F and high of 80F. Sunrise is Jun 21, 2012 5:55 AM and June 23, 2012 5:56 AM; should be fine with light and everyone being able to see everything.
Also, my vote is for a 9 AM start time to give people the chance to not get up to horribly early.
The tour will start at Wheelhouse Bike Rental on the Detroit Riverwalk on the morning of Friday, June 22nd at 9:30am, and will last until approximately 12:30pm.
Put it down. We will have a little bit of a spill over on time if some of us do a run till you drop but that is going to be a personal choice and not a "real" event.

I had a dream about this last night. If this ends up being anything like that in real life, we're in for an experience.
If your dreams are anything like my dreams, if it ends up being anything like it I'd strongly consider avoiding Michigan...
