'Little $15 race' puts premium on effort, not results
2015
Overview
A: \"If you're going to say, 'I'm doing a marathon,' that's lots of preparation, time, mileage -- even a half-marathon. But a 5K -- if you had to, you could go out and walk 3 miles today. It might take an hour and a half, but you could do it. But if you invested five weeks into this, you might complete it in 45 minutes. That's a goal you can set for yourself that's achievable. 'I'm going to run a marathon for my 40th, or 50th' -- why not make a commitment to run, and it doesn't have to be a marathon, but just start running and incorporate it in your life?\" A: \"I've been the director of this for about six or seven years, and we've had a beer garden since then. We had UA kids do a study in 2006, 2007, and we found people were often intimidated at a race. They thought it was all fast people. We thought, let's make it fun and inclusive so people can have a good time from start to finish. You're done, and there's food, beer, an egg toss, you take some pictures. For $15 you had a great time. Maybe you didn't run the fastest, but maybe it's your first 5K and you want to do it again. Four hours of your Saturday morning, it was a riot and now you have a good taste in your mouth about running.\"
