Running of the Leaves

[Derpy]

With Thanksgiving behind us and autumn ending in temperate climes, it's time for the annual Ponyville tradition of the Running of the Leaves! As seen in Fall Weather Friends, each year the denizens of Ponyville dash through Whitetail Woods in order to blow the colorful leaves off the trees, so that winter can begin. Other towns and cities do it with magic, but in Ponyville, it's a communal activity and a race!

This year's Running of the Leaves will be on Saturday, December 1st, and Sunday, December 2nd. Players are encouraged to train for the run. Preparations may occur on Friday. Pinkie Pie and Spike will be announcing!

Running is fun, but it lacks plot. For that reason, feel free to post ideas for how you may want to spice up this event. In the show, it was an Iron Pony match between Rainbow and AJ, and you can bet that won't be forgotten this year. But will there be more?? Discuss below!

I'm totally looking forward to the race. It will be a great deal of fun. I hope we can get alot of ponies to participate.

Since Applejack mentioned the Fall Harvest Parade in the latest episode, I'm thinking it could be mixed with one of those...? Except that we actually see the -Summer- Harvest Parade. Dunno!

But yes, a drinking contest sounds good. Maybe an eating contest, too! In reference to Pinkie's infamous comment in the balloon.
