if we have nine, 385 pound men who are streaking at 17 miles per hour, how long will it take them to streak 3 miles???

It seems that the men are all streaking at a constant velocity of 17 miles per hour. This is a very simple problem. All you need to know is the relationship between velocity, displacement and time:
v = dx/dt
dt = dx/v
dt = 3/17
dt = 10.6 minutes or 0.18 hours

Answer: Probably most of the day.
Rational: you aren't going to find nine 385lb men who can keep up a 17mph rate for 3 miles without collapsing or stopping for snack breaks.
