So I got an email the other day advertising a new half marathon. There are a few things I look for in a race in a sort of mental checklist. Anyway, take a look and let me know if you think I should run it?
The race recently sent my way is the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) Race to End Women’s Cancer. The details are:
1) How much? $75. This is on the high end for a half marathon. It is sponsored by a good cause though. 
2) Where is it? Starting line is 6 blocks from my apartment. Score!
3) Is there a medal? Yes!
4) What distance? Half Marathon
5) What’s the course? It doesn’t get much worse…
You go down 2 blocks, make a U-turn, and back 2 blocks, then make a right, and repeat on the next block, like 5 times. Like running on a comb. Twice. Yes, the course is 2 laps…
Worst course ever? Maybe (yes.)
Let me know if you think I should sign up. It’s on November 8th, 2009 and I don’t think it will sell out.
You can donate here
please add a checkbox for “you got my hit on the site, don’t ask me for imput again”
Can you please define “imput”?
I was going to register for this race today but I’m having second thoughts. The price, the course…I just don’t know. I’ll be curious to see which side of the fence you end up on.
