The Biggest Loser contestant Dane Patterson, who recently was involved in a controversy when NBC showed him crossing the finish line in a marathon during his makeover moment, when in fact a field producer had picked him up and drove him to the end of the race. Dane Patterson continued to enrage viewers when he refused to return the medal he was given for running the race, saying that he had earned it because he returned to the race site later that day and completed the race on his own. Now The Biggest Loser season 7 contestant is hoping for a chance at redemption and will run again in the Country Music Marathon.

The race is not only good news for Dane Patterson, organizers for the race have grabbed onto this opportunity to promote their race which will take place on April 25, in Nashville.
