You have probably considered running it and may have considered
pledging it, but you were thinking...
"Sure, this guy has hosted a 5K or two, or twenty-nine, but
what doe he know about hosting a half marathon, can he really pull
this off by himself?"
How about if I make it absolutely risk
free to you? I am so passionate in my belief that this event should
exist that I am going to waive the requested pledge requirement of
$299. I will personally front all the costs associated with the event,
but ask that you consider pledging what you believe the event is
worth, either now or after you run it.
If you do decide to pledge, please consider the value of the
event, not just to you but to the community in which you reside. Is
this the type of event you want in your community, something you can
point to with pride for having been a part?
Not since the
original race on 6/8/2012 have I ever advertised. Sixteen original
Friday 5K members attended that event, and since then every member has
found their way to these events by word of mouth. Friday5K.com the
"racing club" is unique, special and even a little magical.
All of you had your individual reasons for clicking the
"Submit" button on the membership form, but it is my
sincerest hope and continued aspiration that you find more than you
ever expected.
