The 2012 Briar Chapel 5K is six weeks away... still plenty of time to get prepared!This year's race follows a brand-new, USATF-certified, scenic course throughout Briar Chapel. Why certified, you might ask? Well, courses must be certified for any road running performance to be accepted as a record or to be ranked nationally. Furthermore, running a race on a certified course allows you to accurately compare your time to performances run on other certified courses because you can be sure the distances were the same. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.
For more information about registering for the race and the Earth Day celebration afterwards, please see my previous post.
