[RBW]An Endurance Horse Race - by Erethalion

[Erethalion]

I have posted a suggestion on the LOTRO suggestion board for "An Endurance Horse Race"

In The Lord of the Rings - The fellowship of the Rings
Glorfindel an elf from Rivendell lends Frodo his horse to Race to Imladris. 

I wonder if it might be to far  fetched to create an "Endurance horse race" that people could run with way points much like the Festival runs but have a run that starts in Needlehole and goes to Rivendell.

I am planning an event for the members of my Kinship The Royal Black Watch to be held during the holiday season on Gladden. 
We are going to have a Raid Group and have all people in the Raid RACE from Needle Hole to the Last Homely House on player horses. 

People will need to dismount and collect a predetermined item from one of my kin folk at 5 convergence zones along the route. 
(no one will know what the items will be) ... but the person to show up at the Last Homely House with all 5 items in his possession will be the Winner !!   

First convergence zone will be in Hobbiton at “The Ivy Bush” where they will be given an item by a Kin mate and swig a pint.

Second convergence zone will be in Buckland at “Brandy Hall” where they will be given an item by a Kin mate and swig a pint.

Third convergence zone will be in Archet at “The Mad Badger” where they will be given an item by a Kin mate and swig a pint.

Forth convergence zone will be in LoneLands at “The Forsaken Inn” where they will be given an item by a Kin mate and swig a pint.

Fifth convergence zone will be in Trollshaws at “Echad Candelleth” where they will be given an item by a Kin mate and swig a pint.

Then the last push will be to Rivendell and the “Last Homely House” where the first person to turn in all 5 items to the Kin Race official (out the back door where Samwise was sitting) will be declared the !!WINNER!!

Sounds like fun.... I can wait in Buckland and drink till I fall over hand out an Item (best would be a easily crafted item that retains the creators name).

Oh Erethalion, are you having trouble logging in as Aareth? If so, let me or CJ know and we can help you

This sounds like a lot of fun, very imaginative.  Count me in.
