Do you need suggestions on how to get to the wall? Most cabs can take you there and work late. It will cost you about 200-250 depending on what section of the wall. There aren't any regular buses running at that time. Also if you want you can call a driver if need be, but they will probably be the same of a cab.

Is the naked mile a real tradition?
Yes. Naked Mile - A notorious event where students would run naked through the streets once a year at the end of the University of Michigan winter semester in April. The police and the University started to crack down on it in 2000, citing safety concerns.[3] As a result participants have been forced to adapt, and the event has not been discontinued completely. In 2002, participants have been wearing underwear. In 2003, there were only five to seven runners, all of whom were arrested. In 2004, the event was held a day earlier with an alternative route. Upset by what they consider the draconian suppression of the Naked Mile, the thirteen runners and one naked bicyclist managed to avoid arrest. In 2005, the Naked Mile was replaced with the Painted Mile, in which scantily clad and naked runners painted their bodies to hide any explicit nudity. As of 2007, however, the former tradition has all but disappeared, as very few current undergraduate students have even witnessed a Naked Mile when it was in its heyday.

What is the average time to finish a half marathon?
- Obviously depends upon your fitness and, in particular, your endurance.To use myself as an example, over a 21.7km course my average pace will be almost identical (maybe 1/10th of a km per hour off) to my 5km run pace.Generally speaking, you have to be a fairly stong runner to make it in under 1hr 30 min, very stong to make it in under 1hr 20min.For most people with decent running ability a sub 2 hour time should be achievable, however if not used to the endurance aspect it should be noted that many people 'hit the wall' at around the 1/2 to 2/3rd mark (primarily due to going out too hard at the start & trying to keep pace with the lead pack) Running a 1/2 marathon for an avg man in the 30-34 brackets,,,,1:35:00-1:40:00 thats with training. Hill works is what you want when getting faster.
To improve upon the above answer:
- It would be suicide to attempt to race a half marathon at the same pace one would race a 5K. If the original poster actually does this, he is merely running all races at a comfortable pace...not actually racing.
- Typically, 5K pace would be 30-40 seconds faster a mile than half marathon pace. In other words, if you can run a 5K in 21 minutes (about a 6:45 pace), your half marathon pace would be about 7:15.
- "Hill work is what you want" to get faster may or may not be true. For any runner, more MILES equals faster times. It's that simple. Once you have a consistent base of miles, adding speedwork (not hills) is your best bet. Hills definitely can make you stronger, but head to the track first.
