The Jacksonville 15K Gate River Run
But I have to admit, I like the distance of a 15K race. One thing nice about it is that it can serve as a good hour-run goal. What I mean by this is a distance that you can run in under an hour. It's not an easy goal, but it's doable. You would have to run at a pace of about 6:26.
In last Saturday's race (3/12/05), there were 186 runners out of 7776 who ran the race in under 1 hour. The Gate River Run Age Group Records Page lists sub-hour runners as young as 10 for males and 11 for females and as old as 65 for males and 52 for females. The sub-hour 15K is a reasonable goal for just about everyone.
The winning male and female runners last Saturday had times of 43:52 and 49:21. This Runner's Web article has a good summary of the race. For the stats, I'm in the process of crunching the numbers from data provided by Jacksonville.com. Check back soon.
