Looked like a very well-organized event. Chip timed too! Too bad it competes with the Pine Run. Thanks for the write-up!
ReplyDeleteCole,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that it does compete with the Pine Run at Tall Timbers. Sure, the Lawson 5K is the same day, but a 5K fundraiser is aimed at a different crowd than a 20K trail run. If you go through the Lawson 5K results, you won't see many people who have run at Tall Timbers in the past. Lawson 5K winner Gary Droze is indeed a past champion of the Pine Run 20K, but he hasn't run the event at Tall Timbers. As long as the Pine Run at Tall Timbers is a unique and well-run event, people are not going to pass it up to run just another 5K.
Of course, for "just another 5K," the Run For Lawson looks pretty good. As you pointed out, a "well-organized event" and "chip timed." I would add that it was well publicized and held at a great venue.
Herb.
Good point Herb. Probably didn't take many if any runners away from the Pine Run - different crowd for sure.
ReplyDeleteThere were a few events Saturday and all very well attended.
The turnout for Tri the Rez was great as well. It may be difficult to find a Tallahassee runner who didn't compete, Direct, volunteer, or cheer that Saturday.
ReplyDeleteAdd several hundred runners in five races at the Cougar Challenge cross-country meet, and there were probably even a few folks at the Rattler Urban Challenge 5K at FAMU. What's remarkable is that with all those choices in town, there were still some Tallahassee athletes on the road that day. "The grass is always greener," I guess.
