32nd Bridge of Flowers 10K in Shelburne Falls
32nd Bridge of Flowers 10K; Female Runners Wanted
The 32nd runnings of the 2010 USATFNE Championship Bridge of Flowers 10K and Nathan Hale 3K in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts are just about seven weeks away.
The races are highly regarded on account of the area's scenic beauty, and the Bridge of Flowers10K is famous for its short, tough, "Heartbreak Hill" at the 3K mark. The hill lasts a full kilometer - it's been memorably described as "Everestianic"! This New England Classic race starts and finishes right in the middle of the Shelburne Falls, so its figure-eight course design is very spectator-friendly.
This year the race organizers seek no fewer than 51% female runners, in order to match the US population. 47.6% female participation was reached in 2009. They've added a women's start area and short start chute, as well as women's t-shirts to help achieve this important goal.
Plan on being at the starting line in downtown Shelburne Falls on August 14, 2010 at 8:20AM for the 3K and 9:00AM for the 10K.
