Not me I love the race

Run it till you've won it, then stop... nothing there you can't get my other means anyways

Mods here truly suck...just randomly deciding to merge threads on some subjects into giant threads no one reads...let leave other subjects alone.

Don't know if it's a bug or not, but first 4 times I ran the race after last Thursdays patch I couldnt complete the race:
First time went over the cliff to test new patch- NO DQ but didn't get a flag to claim at finish line.
Next 3 runs- ran the entire course but got DQ'd evertime because I got too close to the cliff but didn't go over.

I've since learned to run the course properly but see others taking MASSIVE shortcuts across corners to win. Not that I'm concerned since I got all the tags and accolades I'll ever need but I kinda miss the cliff leaping sprint, this 'cheaters paradise' steeplechase is for the birds.

If you don't like being challenged, why even play?

I know this event is almost over, but I have to ask. Is there some buff or item that increases running speed besides the Frosted Boots. I usually have a better then average chance of winning these races and I DO have Frosted Boots. But i've observed some people blowing past me sometimes on the final stretch, they're behind me, AND they don't appear to be wearing Frosted Boots. I'd like to know for next year and my own peace of mind, as It makes my suspect foul play.

Frosted Boots do not give speed boosts when on the race tracks, since the ice has the same effect. And far as I know there is nothing else that gives speed boosts.

That said, in several races, I have seen people zip past me while I'm in First place and in a flat sprint on a straightaway. Which has me suspicious that there is somekind of exploit that circumvents the Q WW debuff.


Also while they are checking things out, that one turn after the drop off needs to be addressed for next year. And wouldn't hurt to neutralize Cat Jumps as well.
