"First Half" Half Marathon
notice for 2010
After almost two and a half years of trying to negotiate a suitable
date and route, Pacific Road Runners (PRR) and its sponsors have concluded
that it is not possible to stage the “First Half” in 2010 in a way
that does not compromise the quality or character of the event.
The obvious reason for not running the race on the traditional date in
February 2010 is that it will be the first weekend of the Winter Olympics
and the Start/Finish is in the heart of Olympic action.
What isn’t obvious is that for all of January, February and March
2010, ALL suitable venues are blocked for Olympic use. PRR investigated
postponing until later in the Spring, but they found it would run into
many other events, particularly established running events. And they do
not wish to compete against, or negatively impact those events.
Since they cannot stage the event everyone expects, they feel it is
better to cancel for 2010. Pacific Road Runners hope you will understand
and join them again in 2011 when the “First Half” will return –
better than ever – on Sunday, February 13, 2011.
PRR want to thank all those people and organizations that tried to help
them find alternate arrangements for a 2010 “First Half”. For further
