Event #61 $400 COLOSSUS - Final Results
If you build it, the donks will come. The COLOSSUS is one of those branded events that got some suit a mega promotion for coming up with an idea on how to boost numbers and host a redonkulous event.
Over 13K runners took part in the 2019 Colossal Running of the Donks. This year's event was a modest $400, which means even more donkery that usual. The total number of 13,109 players created a prize pool worth over $4.3 million.
In the Colossus Running of the Donks, the top 1,965 places paid out. Heck, that's the size of a field in some Donkamanets and that's how many places got paid out.
All the cheesecake was at the final table with the winner taking home at least $450K and the top five places paying out six figures. Not too bad for a mere $400 event.
