USATF Sanctioned 
Our Cause: For strong families. Families that run together stay together. Bring your whole family to the race. Those who run can run, those who do not can cheer, meet new friends, and help with the race. Compared to your average race with an entry fee of $20, even a low income family of 5 can now afford it. Kids older than 7 can be trained to run 5 miles. They do that in Kenya just to get to school. So away with school bus, and let's raise our own Kenyans - bring your whole family to the race.
Registration: http://fastrunningblog.com/reg/race_reg.php?race_id=139 . Registration only online. We strongly encourage you to pre-register. If you come on the day of the race we will give you a bib. However, we will ask you to go online ASAP after you finish the race, post-register, and enter the bib you've run with. This will guarantee that your time will appear in the race results.
Course: Starts and finishes at the Provo River Bridge on Geneva Road. The race course is flat out and back along the Provo River Trail. We will run to the end of the Provo River Trail by the Utah Lake and back.
Course Map with Elevation ProfilePrizes: Prize money for men and women:
1st place $50, 2nd pace $30, 3rd place $20
Prize money will be rewarded only if the performance standards are met. 27:30 or faster for men, 32:30 for women. No age division awards. However, we will subtract 1:10 from the time of the masters (40+) for the purpose of awarding prize money. So the young bucks would have to run scared.
Payment: Free. You may donate to Fast Running Blog if you so desire.
Free with prize money? What's the catch? We keep it simple. Essentials do not cost, it is the frills that do. We stick to the essentials and will add the frills as we grow. But not at the expense of the runners budget.
