What are the Characteristics of a Good Race? In my opinion the characteristic of a Good Race should have at least the ff. standards.
1. Accurate race distance or over by at least 100 meters.
2. Drinking Water station at every 3km. marking.
3. Marshal to guide the runners on the correct route.
4. Race route should have a mixture of hills, turns and flat terrain.
5. A souvenir T-shirt for all participants' regardless if you finished the race.
The PALMS COUNTRY CLUB 3, 5 and 10k race last Aug.1, 2009 fits to this description. In spite that the race had minimal advertising exposure and not many runners attended the race due to the pouring rain. It was still 1 good race. Hopefully they will have 1 every 6 months.
STATS :
DISTANCE (GARMIN 305) : 10.10 km
TIME: 53:34
PACE 5:18/KM
I was very pleased with my performance and finishing time in spite of my right hamstring injury which made me take it easy on the turns and downhill portion of the race.
