PACING REQUIREMENTS

All participants for the 13K and the 6.5K must be able to maintain a 15-minute per mile pace.

That's new.

I wonder how strict they will be. If 13K is about 8 miles, then, at 15 minutes a mile, everyone would have to be done in two hours. (The 6.5 folks have one hour!) Yikes.

Well that's a bummer. They should have had that up initially when they opened registration.

Matterhorn Fan · 04-29-2007, 08:43 AM

Agreed.

It should have been announced when registration opened but unless it is being advertised as a run/walk then 15 minutes/mile is generous (though not quite as general as the marathon).

The pacing requirement has been changed on the website:

That comes out to about an 18 minute mile.

Wow, more generous than the marathon.

OK, now that I can do without hurting myself or putting myself at risk of other medical harm.

Hooray!

Hooray, indeed.

And that sentence I wrote is atrocious. One might think I've been sick AND reading student papers lately.
