I'm trying to decide whether or not to run first dam run this year. On the one hand, I like the course and the people. On the flipside, Cache sun and snow is now charging 25 dollars for this race-either the 5 or 10K- or 20 dollars without a shirt. This seems like a lot of money for a pretty low key 5 and 10K requiring no aid stations, transportation, or other frills, and where they only give a single trophy to the first male and female finishers (just cheap ribbons to the rest). TOU half is only ten dollars more, including buses to the start, aid stations, three deep trophies for all age groups, cash awards, etc. So why are they charging 25 bucks for a low key 5 or 10K? In contrast I can run Smithfield's turkey trot 10K for 8 dollars a week later or tremontons 5K for one dollar. Looks like a better deal for the budget minded runner these days. I wonder if others think this race is worth 25 dollars?
