This summer’s inaugural Course of the Force, the five-day lightsaber relay from Santa Monica to Comic-Con to raise money for Make-a-Wish, just announced that The Clone Wars star and Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein will be joining as co-host, joining veteran TV nerd Chris Hardwick. Not only will she be co-hosting the event, she’ll also be running one leg of the relay.
Hardwick says of Eckstein:
“Ashley is a glorious addition to the Course of the Force. She is not just an important character on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, she is also a true follower of the Saga. I am but a mere Padawan in comparison to her Jedi mastery,” states Nerdist Industries founder and Course of the Force host Chris Hardwick.
Now there are two of them! There is still room to register for a quarter-mile leg of the lightsaber torch relay, as it winds its way down the coast from Santa Monica to downtown San Diego, with nightly parties in cities along the route from July 7 to July 11.
It would be amazing if they organized something like this at CVI.
Well, I know Disney World does marathons. But in August? In Orlando? That’s just asking for trouble. Maybe if they ever go back to May or a less humid locale.
since it is a relay, where each runner only does 1/4 mile, it wouldn’t be so bad. at least not marathon bad.
but where would you run from to reach orlando?
