Todd’s Gate River Run 15K course record lasted 30 years.

My fun solution to “the problem of track and field” if there is one. Post-recording thoughts: Points should also be awarded to a runner for leading (per lap). Alternatively, we eliminate points altogether, and do something like tennis does, best of 5 sets (races). Might not be spectator friendly, but watching the same field go at it (and using different tactics) 5 days in a row on TV would be interesting. Kinda what happens at the Olympics where drama unfolds over an entire week. To submit your thoughts, questions, or overall feedback , email run12795@gmail.com or find me on Strava.
