Just registered for the River Run
Glad they eased up on the qualifying standards for a seeded number. I didn't enter many races last year, and the ones I did enter weren't my best. They dropped the standard for a 5k from 20:00 to 22:00. I finished the Tour de Pain 5k in 21:39, just squeaking by.
They really overhauled the qualifying standards. They also increased the number of seeded numbers from 1,000 to 1,500. Here's a look at the old versus the new:
Distance | Old | New |
5k | 20:00 | 22:00 |
5 mile | 35:00 | 37:00 |
10k | 44:00 | 47:00 |
15k | 1:07:00 | 1:10:00 |
10 mile | 1:13:00 | 1:17:00 |
1/2 Mar. | 1:38:00 | 1:42:00 |
Marathon | 3:30:00 | 3:40:00 |
