Has anyone heard that there will be prize money at Mt. SAC this year?
Has anyone heard that there will be prize money at Mt. SAC this year?
They are a community college. They don't have money for prize money. Winning or placing well in a Mt. Sac elite event means enough in itself.
I heard they have sponsors that are putting up money for the distance events buy I can't find anything on their site about it.
There was one such event last year, which was a Puma mile as I recall. But there is not general Mt. Sac prize money, and there never has been as far as I know.
Billions and Billions.
We heard $5,000 total. $500 for the top time in each distance event 800 and up.
