Anyone planning on running the 5k or the 10k on Monday? I'm trying to get a sense of what the competition. I'd love there to be a huge pack of guys to run with.

I am running, but I am not a guy, and I won't be running your pace  Wink.  I don't know if you noticed, but they have posted on their website those who have registered so far.

Sean:

There would probably be three collegiate guys in the race that would give you trouble. One of them might be untouchable with the probability of 25% but he will run tactically, so you can have contact with him in the first 5 K. The other two you can beat, but you would have to work. I have not looked at the start list, so I do not know who they are, but statistically this is what has happened over the last 5 years.

The course is accurate and fairly slow. If you break 32:00, it would be very good.

I'll be running the 10K but not in your league. Last year's winner was Kyle Perry, NCAA steeplechase champion who ran 31:30 or so.

So what do they do with the prize money since they can't give it collegiate athletes?

I believe Perry had graduated by the time he ran, so he was OK to take the money. But I believe collegiate athletes have to just pass the money on to the next finishers.
