| CMS Dudley 5K Series - 1997 |
Year after year, Ken Deary (Dudley), virtually single-handedly, organizes and directs the CMS-Dudley 5K Series. Want proof? Check who was responsible for timing three of the four June races. The one race that Ken did not time was done so by Ken's sister, Nancy Roberts (Dudley).
Maybe this is what road racing should be. No $75, $50, $35, $20, $15 or $12 entry fee. Not even a $10, $8, $6, $3 or $2 fee. The races are free of charge. No television coverage with self-professed experts boring everyone except themselves with their commentary. No "elite" runners expecting travel and appearance money. No runners expecting a t-shirt, a "goody bag," water stations every quarter-mile, and a post-race three course meal. Those who materialize at the CMS-Dudley Series are runners who come to race.
Due to heavy construction on the regularly used course, races 2, 3 and 4 were run on a new course. The hastily measured course used for race 2 was found to be about 3.3 miles. The course used for races 3 and 4 was remeasured with a wheel at exactly 5000 meters.
Next four races: Thursday evenings of August 21, August 28, September 4 and September 11.
