Here’s a race that is quickly becoming one of the Charlotte area’s must-run events. In 2007, the first year of the Runway 5k, there were 312 finishers. On a rainy Saturday in 2008 there were slightly more runners, with 377 finishers. This year it exploded with a total of 1,343 runners finishing the race, not counting [...]

No Comments »Race #59 – CaroMont Candlelight 8k – Gastonia, NC – 10/24/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on October 25th, 2009
It was one of the few nighttime races we’ve run, and now I remember why — you can’t see anything in the dark. There were supposed to be luminaires lighting the way, and there actually were some, but it looked as though they might have either run out of luminaires or volunteers who were willing [...]

Race #58 – Lung Strong 15k – Cornelius NC – 10/17/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on October 17th, 2009
The Lung Strong 15k was the final race of the 2008 Run for Your Life Grand Prix, and also the longest race in the RFYL Grand Prix series at 9.3 miles. I’m fine with that distance but before the race I was a little worried about my wife Linda, whose longest previous run (even in [...]

Do Race Directors Ever Get No Complaints?
Posted by Playdaykelf on October 14th, 2009
Dave, as a race director with only one event under my belt, I'm curious: Have you ever had a race where you didn't have someone contact you…

I’ve Been Admitted to the Asylum!
Posted by Richard Hefner on October 11th, 2009
I’m happy to announce that after having completed four half marathons over the previous 28 days I’ve been admitted (3 moons!) to the Half Fanatics Asylum. It’s a branch of the Marathon Maniacs for those of us who might not be quite determined enough to go out and run a marathon every week. I’m member [...]

Race #57 – iRecycle Half Marathon – Spartanburg SC – 10/10/09
Posted by Richard Hefner on October 10th, 2009
The iRecycle Half Marathon was my 4th half marathon in the past 28 days and probably won’t be going into my highlight reel. Of those four half marathons, this one was my slowest, with a finishing time of 1:42:10, a 7:48 per mile pace, which is about 30 seconds slower than last week’s HM. I [...]
