if we have fifty, 385 pound men streaking down the hi-way at 35 miles per hour, how long will it take them to go 10 miles if one of the large men trips at the 5 mile mark???

Streaking implies a high speed on foot, which a 385 pound man cannot maintain.

Ignoring this for the moment, the typical 385 lb man can travel at approximately 3 miles per hour over a sustained distance. They have been known to sprint at speeds as high as 35 MPH over short distances such as towards a Milky Way or Mars bar (I had to work astronomy into the answer somehow), however this is not sustainable over distances longer than about 20 feet.

Assuming a 10 minute snack break after every 20 minutes of walking, plus an additional break to right the fallen man, the total elapsed time is 5 hours 10 minutes.

If you insist on the 35 MPH speed, then the answer is forever as they will all keel over from coronaries at the 200 yard mark.
