Get Surveyed
Here's a survey exploring the reasons people run races. Post race
pizza is not mentioned in the survey for some strange reason. Take it (I
did) and help a runner get her Ph.D. You don't have to be out in York or
Lancaster to participate.
You are invited to participate in this research study about your motivation
to participate in 5K races! The following information is provided in order
to help you to make an informed decision whether or not to participate. If you
have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. You are eligible to
participate because you are over the age of 18 and reside in the Harrisburg or
York areas of Pennsylvania and/or you have participated in a local running club
or race. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the
motivations of 5K race participants in the Harrisburg and York areas of
Pennsylvania. The findings from this study will be available to race directors
at Central Pennsylvania nonprofit organizations as a guide to plan a successful
5K race fundraiser for a worthy cause and/or to increase participation in their
current 5K race.
Your participation will include completing a survey online that will take
approximately 10 minutes. In the survey, I will be asking you about your
intentions to participate in 5K races in the upcoming months. Once these
intended 5K races occur, I will retrieve the finishers list from the race
director to record your finisher status. Also, you will be given the
opportunity to volunteer for the second part of this study, one-on-one
interviews expanding on 5K race motivations, what might hinder your
participation in a race and your idea of a good race. Please note that you may
experience minimal discomfort answering questions regarding your feelings about
running.
Your participation in this study is voluntary. You are free to decide
not to participate in this study or to withdraw at any time. If you choose to
participate, you may withdraw at any time by notifying the Project Director.
Upon your request to withdraw, all information pertaining to you will be
destroyed. If you choose to participate, all information will be held in the
strictest confidence. Your response will be considered only in combination with
those from other participants. The information obtained in the study may be
published in scientific journals or presented at scientific meetings but your
identity will be kept strictly confidential.
Upon completion of the survey, your name will be entered into drawings for a $250
Gift Card at Inside Track or Dicks Sporting Goods (your choice) and a 1-Year
Membership to Momentum (a popular local women's fitness facility).
Thank you for your consideration!

Jill Had Them Run Up The Hill
Got to help at the Quadzilla 15K trail race up at Trexler Preserve on
Sunday. Great job by Jill Forsythe to pull off the event only a few days
removed from surgery. Either the runners were all trail veterans or
delusional from the heat but every one of the finishers was thrilled to
have run. Stopping sweaty in the chute when there's a downhill finish is
an interesting experience.
He's A Marketing Icon
Our running friends in Canada will soon see our own Rob Gallagher as the
face of Marathon Bermuda in the marketing campaign for the 2013 race. Rob
is shown waving and smiling while running. I know many were hoping for a
"beefcake" shot but Rob's a bit classier than that.
A Big Weekend (or Two)
Good luck to Mary Latza, Jen Hooper and others who are of to the Ironman
Lake Placid. Also a run well to bob Bodkin at this weekend's Vermont 100
miler and next week to Wayne Sigler who'll be doing the Burning River 100 miler
in Ohio. Bob is running Vermont as a fund-raiser for the HCM oundation. Here's a link to Bob's page: http://www.active.com/donate/hcmteamchallenge/vermont100 Anybody else have an extreme event coming up?
