Is Temptation the irresistible force?
 |
Maybe we should change the name of the "Good Times Series" to the "Fun Times Series" because from the smiles on everyone's face that's exactly what they were having last night. Our theme for week number five of the series was "temptation" and we did our best to do just that!

This is how it worked. Along our beautiful Good Times course we setup two temptation stations. Each station was designed to tempt runners with nifty prizes or cash, however as you can expect there was a price to pay for this indulgence.
Station one, located at mile one, had 10 boxes each containing merchandize. However only one box contained the Grand Prix of a $25 gift card to Whirlaway Sports of Methuen, a $25 Best Buy gift card, a one year subscription to New England Runner and other items valued at $100. The other boxes contained merchandize valued under $25. Runners who decided to take a box had to carry it the remaining 2-miles. Of course each box was just large enough to make it very awkward to carry.
Station two, located at mile two, required runners to leave the course and run down a rugged path to the river where Tom Hildreth greeted them. Tom had 25 envelopes filled with money. Most of the envelopes contained bills of small domination except for one envelope that has a check for $100. The trip to the river and back added at least 30-seconds to your overall finishing time.
There was plenty at risk for indulging in a temptation. There was the risk of losing points in the overall standings, the risk of not winning a Mylie for setting a course PR and the risk of forfeiting your chance of winning an age group award. In the end it seemed that everybody won. The runner's vying for series' points avoided the temptation, runners trying to set course PRs were successful (we awarded 32 Mylies) and runners who usually don't win age group awards walked away with a prize. More importantly everyone who participated left with good memories of a very special event.
If this event sounds like
fun to you, then don't miss your chance to join us in two weeks (Aug 7) when
the Good Times resumes with the Fred Brown Handicap 5K. On that week we honor
one of the all-time greats of the sport by updating his patented handicap race
with today's technology. You will also have a chance to run on our lightning
fast course, participate in a fun competition, have a chance of winning something
at our cool raffle and experience our great after race party. And as always
…"We can't promise you will run a fast time, but we do guarantee
you will have a Good Time!"
