Very nice event, meticulously organized and conducted. The runners are treated with great respect, there is prize money, and there is a banquet afterwards. It’s electronically timed, and the elite races are videotaped for your viewing pleasure.
This past January one of the elite races produced a world indoor mark (John Hinton, 4:20.18, M45). Oh, that’s right, it wasn’t recognized. Was it a dream I had?
