Well, that’s up to you, really.
Here’s an online survey I threw together to gather input from runners about what they want from race directors.
Take the survey now. You know you want to.
Filed under: poll, racing | Tagged: running times |
This site is about:
- Masters women's running
- Running in the NYC area
- Observations about the sport
- Interviews with the pros
- Interviews with fast amateurs- “I am sure you run faster than her, and in my book that outranks a plunging neckline.”

Races Like a Girl 
Julie I took the survey but I think it’s a little weird b/c I would have answered some of the questions differently based on if we were talking about a marathon or a local 5k.
Good point. But it is what it is, which is unscientific at best. I basically needed a starting point for discussing broad topics with race directors. So I couldn’t afford to get caught in the weeds of specifics, branching logic, etc. Such are the trade-offs of tight deadlines. 😦
Thank you for taking the survey, though!
i did the survey. nice job — i think you really hit all the characteristics of races.
done! I agree with TK, but then I realized that I put that most of the extra crap that goes along with big marathons wasn’t that important to me. even rewarded you with an almost-rant. keep up the good cross training!
