			<description><![CDATA[This fast finish 1/2 marathon run begins in Montezuma VA, about 3 miles west of Dayton, just off route 257. Park at the Montezuma Civic Center and beginning running north on McNett Dr. 

The barking dogs that live on McNett Dr. can be sedated with dog treats. The traffic is generally light, but cars sometimes zip by on Dry River Road and Hinton Road. If the horse and buggy&#039;s are out, especially on Sunday mornings, watch where you step. 

The combined out &amp; back, loop course sets up for a fast finish. The course gradually climbs until it peaks at the 6.3 mile mark. The steepest incline (3% grade) begins at the 5.4 mile mark and continues for about .2 miles. Other inclines are in the 1% to 2% grade range. From there, the course rolls slightly until mile 7.75, where the steady 1% downgrade begins. The last mile is flat. Runners who comfortably reach the peak elevation will be pleased with how fast they can finish this run! Honey Run Road is pack gravel, rural, quiet and fast.

Slowfox would love to host a small time race on this route.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://www.mapmyfitness.com/route/united-states/ca/san-francisco/130125911354987510]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[This is the unofficial racecourse for the DSE Runners&#039; 2009 Double Lake Merced 9 mile course, held on Sun Nov 22, in San Francisco, CA.

The course consists of two clockwise loops around Lake Merced.  There was a 4.5 mile &quot;Single&quot; loop run held simultaneously beginning and ending at the same place. The race is entirely on the paved bike/walking path along the lake.

There are several advantages to this course.  It is on a self-contained path, so route confusion is practically non-existent and is a very safe run with only a few traffic crossings a parking lot entrances.  It is flat, at least by San Francisco standards, with very gentle uphills and downhills.  I would venture to say that the mapmyrun elevation profile even overstates the elevation change.

Trackpoints were downloaded from my Garmin Forerunner and are as accurate as can be expected.  I was a participant in the race and am not affiliated with its organizers or sponsors.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you%u2019ve never been involved with the Seattle Marathon family of events, the 5K Run/Walk is a great introduction! This 3.1 mile race is perfect for both runners and walkers. Use it as a warm-up for the Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon, or create a fun, family outing to burn off some of those Thanksgiving Day calories. Treat your out-of-town guests to stunning views of Seattle while doing something healthy for the entire family.

The Course
This year%u2019s course starts at 5th &amp; Harrison at Seattle Center, travels south down 5th Avenue, turns around and heads north back up 5th, finishing at the International Fountain at Seattle Center.

Dogs on leash and strollers welcome
The ADA%u2013compliant course is wheelchair%u2013, dog%u2013 and stroller%u2013friendly. We ask that walkers and parties with dogs, wheelchairs and strollers start toward the end of the line to reduce crowding and allow runners to achieve their best time. 
T-shirts &amp; Goody Bags
All finishers receive a complimentary t-shirt and goody bag. Finishers pick up their t-shirt and goody bag after the race. 
Results
Unofficial results will be posted near the finish line as soon as they are available. A complete listing of official results will be posted at www.seattlemarathon.org shortly after the race.

Timing
The race is timed using Winning Time chip technology on a USATF-certified course. All 5K Race participants must wear a chip in order to appear in the results. A $30 fee will be assessed for any chips not returned by the end of the event. 

First Mile Challenge
New this year, awards will be given for the best first-mile split time in addition to the best overall 5K time. To be eligible for the First Mile Challenge award, a participant must complete the full 5K distance.
Awards
Awards will be given for the top three overall runners (male &amp; female), the top three age division runners (male &amp; female), and top masters runners (40  male &amp; female) for both the First Mile Challenge and full 5K distance.
The top three men&#039;s and women&#039;s finishers will receive a free pair of shoes courtesy of Road Runner Sports.
The top finisher in each age division will receive a $50 gift certificate for Road Runner Sports.
Age divisions are as follows: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 
Double dipping from both overall and age division is allowed for both the First Mile Challenge and 5K distances.
All First Mile Challenge and 5K distance times will be based on the official time, or gun time, per USATF rules. 
High School Team Challenge
New this year, we are organizing a special High School Team Challenge as part of the Seattle Marathon 5K Race.  The High School Team Challenge is a perfect way for high school runners to show off their hard work and to come together as a team during the Thanksgiving Weekend.

			<description><![CDATA[This marathon starts and finishes in charming historic downtown Richmond, once the capital of the south. The scenic, fast loop course takes in all of the city&#039;s old neighborhoods, traveling up Monument Avenue, past statues of Confederate soldiers and Richmond native and tennis star Arthur Ashe, through the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, then alongside the James River. Along with the typical water and sports drink stops, this is probably the only race in the country that offers junk food stops, at miles 16 and 22, stocked with Gummy Bears, cookies, and soda. There are also two wet-washcloth stations, at miles 17 and 23, perfect for cleaning up for your finish-line photo. Three party zones set up along the way with free food, prize giveaways, and noisemakers for spectators and family means lots of enthusiastic, cheering support. The last mile features a fast downhill to the finish in the trendy Shockoe Slip area, where there are plenty of postrace goodies, including bagels, fruit, and pizza, and a band to celebrate your finish.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This was a really cool idea for a run that I finally got to doing.  It is a perimiter of Northboro.  The run never leaves the town but stays as close to the edge of it as roads will allow.  Except for getting to and from my house, the route never backtracks. I would recomend running the route so as to go up Ball Hill and down Green Street as I found from experience that doing the opposite is extremely difficult, especially towards the end of the run. ]]></description>
