And go with the glory on Age Group Awards!! They are always the most memorable races. I used to get them, but not anymore, which makes me think I'm slowing faster than I'm supposed to. I can always blame the kids.Mark Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956530916020259514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-25107539250927245532012-04-10T09:54:42.356-04:002012-04-10T09:54:42.356-04:00If you start to get board of the trolley trails he...If you start to get board of the trolley trails head over to the mountain bike trails I think the loop is around nine miles.

When I ran my very first 5K, I had no idea how the awards worked. I just assumed I wasn't good enough and left after the race (especially since you had to wait over an hour for the ceremony.) Luckily my husband went and found out I did get an award. I was shocked! Now I realize it all depends on how big the race is and who shows up.Janethttp://www.twitter.com/reidphotographynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-60867037579037592022012-04-10T07:39:10.396-04:002012-04-10T07:39:10.396-04:00I have a couple age group awards.

(A lot of the faster people seem to go to the 10K). If it is not an inaugural event, check last year's results to get a feel for the field. Not that I've done any of these things in choosing races to run :PTy @tyruns.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942912593289802443noreply@blogger.com
