Lance Armstrong has already won the Tour de France (A record setting seven times in a row), beat testicular cancer, raised millions of dollars for cancer research and started a fashion craze with his “LIVESTRONG” bracelets.

So after all that - what is good ol’ Lance doing to enjoy his well deserved retirement? Running the ING New York City marathon on November 5th (Isn’t that every retiree’s dream?!?!).

In honor of this incredible cyclist, athlete and humanitarian - Rodale, Inc. (Publisher of Runner’s World Magazine) has decided to give away a year of free running shoes to the person who comes the closest to predicting Lance’s finishing time. The winner, who will be notified on November 10th, will have their choice of up to seven pairs of running shoes from any national manufacturer (Worth about $900 in retail value).

Go ahead and test your ability to predict the future and try to come away with those free shoes (BTW - I am a size 12 if you win and maybe want to throw a pair my way!). To enter, please go to the official contest page.
