Anything thrown on the ground , water bottle hat, or any gear outside of the transition zone is grounds for DQ which would have to be witnessed by race officials. :cry: They usually have someone on the course on a motorcycle looking for drafting offenses as well as throwing things down :shock: I hav...

I might point out that for a triathlon it is DQ for throwing things on the course. Maybe the RRCA should adopt similar legislation. There are too many trash cans on the way to throw things in people's yards

St Judes Memphis Marathon

The half is already sold out :cry: Took about 12 days for it to fill. Those that want to do the full better get moving. Many will likely register for the full to do the half. Two years ago some registered for the 5K and did the half. Some didn't register at all. :shock:

Gun Time or Chip time

Do you think that races should be decided by gun times or chip times?

Great idea for the one miler. It did work out better than I had thought. My only disappointment would be that there were not as many children doing it than there were. :cry: Wonder if that was a marketing issue or they are really that lazy as a group. I'm hoping it is the former. Maybe the race need...

treadmill

My maximum on the treadmill was 15 miles. Was training for a marathon and there was Ice and snow on the ground. 10 miles for pace runs isn't too bad when it is very intense. Any thing over 1-1/2 hours becomes a problem for me. I think I asked them to put me on a suicide watch for that longer run. :c...

That idea was batted around here two or three years ago. Start on Broadway and end at Dickey-Stevens Park. You want to be the RD? When would you work it into to what is becoming a crowded schedule? That distance, Half Marathon, is made for late fall or winter or early spring. You would have to sched...
