In an effort to save GB's thread from in depth, but off-topic posts pertaining to shuttlecocks, naked men, and jimmymac's not forgotten post:
Here is a thread/vbook with odds on:
1. Whether or not jimmymac will need to perform the naked lap
2. Assuming he loses-- whether or not he chickens-out, and
3. Assuming he does man-up upon losing---his total lap time.
Based on this information provided by jimmymac:
Combined with the fact that his run should be about .14-.15 miles (See map), I came up with these assumptions:
.14 miles is a little over 200 meters (225.308 to be exact). The high school record for 200 meters is 20.23 seconds set by a kid in Texas. Looking at the map, I have him taking short cuts under the trees in order to gain more cover. Cover will help him remain unseen, but he will be dodging branches, roots, and other shrubbery which could ultimately slow him down. Not using the short cuts through the trees is pretty much the same distance at .15 miles but he could pick up a few secs.
Which route does he take?
So I will set the over/under at 27.25 seconds. Odds he needs to run the lap: Yes 1/1, No 1/1. Odds he chicken's out: Yes 3/1, No 7/1.
Dont bet too much. Your money will be tied up for a while.
*Odds and times subject to change as info becomes available*

Combined with the fact that his run should be about .14-.15 miles (See map), I came up with these assumptions:
- He participates in sports requiring endurance,
- Which probably means he exercises daily,
- Which means he is in pretty solid shape,
- With no respiratory diseases e.g. asthema,
- And no vices e.g. smoking,
- Which means he could run at an above average sprint pace,
- And at a 10.5 shoe size, odds are he won't be using this opportunity to show off anything
- Making that above average sprint pace increased even more,
- and with the adrenaline flowing expect an even quicker pace.
- Therefore, his lap SHOULD be pretty fast.
