They put more into training, invest money into gear/entry fee/travel expenses/and even coaching at times. 200s are still at their inception. When someone signs up for one, it's so new and epic that there is extra reason to finish, to distinguish oneself, to not let down crew/family/friends who have also invested more time and funds into the event. You have more to lose the longer the race, and more to win. We also have impeccable course markings (except for a few cases of vandalism), excellent aid, amazing volunteers, and great organization. Details are important to us. We design the race to get as many finishers as we can by having a 28 page runner's manual, providing all the aid we promised and having good medical support. One more thing to add: when the course is all original, no multiple loops or major out-and -backs, runners (no matter how tired) still want to see the rest of the course, it's that cool!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060581845647426164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146089657066958317.post-20125575177383428552015-11-11T00:13:30.357-08:002015-11-11T00:13:30.357-08:00Great post!

Or good course descriptors and support ? Thanks :-)Scallywaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348460005479483527noreply@blogger.com
