Title: Provo Freedom Festival Run Post by: Sean Sundwall on July 03, 2010, 10:23:58 am 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.
Title: Re: Provo Freedom Festival Run Post by: Michelle Lowry on July 03, 2010, 11:00:25 am I am running, but I am not a guy, and I won't be running your pace ;). I don't know if you noticed, but they have posted on their website those who have registered so far.

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. Title: Re: Provo Freedom Festival Run Post by: Steve P on July 03, 2010, 01:46:21 pm 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.
Title: Re: Provo Freedom Festival Run Post by: Sean Sundwall on July 03, 2010, 07:36:37 pm So what do they do with the prize money since they can't give it collegiate athletes?
Title: Re: Provo Freedom Festival Run Post by: Steve P on July 06, 2010, 01:20:35 pm 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.
