CASH PRIZE! Equalizer Race!

The 20K will again be an Equalizer race (women start 12 minutes before the men). First open and first masters runners to the finish line receive $150 cash. First open and first masters of the other gender to the finish line receive $100 cash.

How did I come up with the 12 minutes?  I found the average difference in finishing times for men and women in the past results and got 12:04.  I threw out the high and low and got 12:00.

Course Descriptions

2-Mile - Out and back course on Mayowood Road.

20K - Loops and out-and-back on blacktop bike trails and county roads.  One hill, elevation 90 ft, in the first mile. The course for 2008 is the same as 2007--fast and flat.  4 water stops (Gatorade and water) at miles 2,6,7.4,11.

Note: As this is an equalizer race and the men will be overtaking some of the women on the course, NO HEADPHONES WILL BE ALLOWED!  Run to the right on the bike trail.  When a runner behind you announces they are going to pass, let them pass unobstructed.
