This is proof that America is getting dumber. And our sport is becoming gimmicky.

I like the jersey idea, but you seriously couldn't find a more original name than Heartbreak Hill?

Do you think any serious runners are going to sign up for a race where half the field is all-out sprinting the first 400 meters? No one needs that kind of shit getting in the way of his/her sub-25 5k.

Typically 5-10 guys go for it. And I am sure that won't get in the way of any people. As for the Heartbreak hill thing that was what the guys named it back in the day so they just have not changed it.

Love it. You can't take this shit too seriously if you aren't seriously competing. In which case you should be more worried about your EPO supply.
