800m - 10,000m High Performance Meets | July 2, 5, 7 in Los Angeles (Sunset Tour)

Bring back Indiana Invaders! I’m a sub-sub elite post collegiate and I need some meets to run at in that area of the country.

Can a male 2:00 800 guy run in the development races? I'm not elite but would still love to race.

Heck yes!

Right now, I plan to offer multiple sections of developmental races (which will feature generous entry standards) to afford competitive minded athletes an opportunity to compete

Happy training! | jm

Thanks! Any plans to offer the mile in place of / in addition to the 1500 on one or more days?

Not much time to recover and run in 2 or all 3 of the meets. But if the dates are fixed, maybe move the longer races laster), so e.g. one could run a 15, 5, or steeple (or two) and come back in the 10k on 7/7.

Good point, I hear you. However, can't lose sight of the fact that the intent of this tour is to offer one quality shot in each event to lay down a world class time.

Our target audience is the professional runner/team. But I am honored to create and offer sub-elites a high-quality opportunity as well.

This format accommodates pro coaches so they can focus on coaching 1 or 2 events/athletes per night in their camps.

Focus makes us better. | jm

these will be *run like the other meets.

This is 2nd grade grammar.

Goes to show you don't need to pass 2nd grade grammar to earn an Ivy League degree. | jm, Columbia Univ. c/o '06 — Roar Lions Roar!

Good suggestion! Thank you.

Will consider running a 1 Mile on 7/5 - could be fun! | jm

As a former sub-sub-elite post-collegiate guy, I would **LOVE** to see the Indiana Invaders brought back, those were great!

Quick favor: Can you kindly restart them? I'm already pre-committed to this thing in LA this summer... ;-) | jm

Dude, you need to see this:

Count me in as a spectator. I'd suggest Saturday and Sunday instead of Friday. Fans like me who have a multi hour drive can't make it on Friday. It would be good to have a couple of masters events with time standards as well.

Perhaps helicopter in? | jm

I am too poor to afford a helo ride. On a more serious note, you could contact Rabbit RC and Joe Rubio (Hoka Aggies) about rabbits.

I wasn’t completely honest. I’m currently in school, but graduating soon. This was a preemptive attempt at trying to get someone with experience to host semi-competitive meets in my area so I can still compete at a less than competitive level while I work full time.

Tempting....but I'll past. I'll just pretend everyone is saying only very nice things. Flattered my tweets have their own thread btw! | jm

Drat. Please consider hosting meets in the future! The track world needs more young, passionate meet directors! | jm

Got it. Thanks. Will make you a deal - You work on making more $ to afford a helo ride and I'll reach out to RRC and Hoka Aggies re: pacemakers. Thanks so much for the tip! | jm

Smart move getting this done before bowerman camp and potentially missing out on their athletes that won’t be in Europe and working the camp.

I see your point too. I was just thinking that with the tougher Oly standards, even the pros may need a couple shots at it. Anyway, thanks very much for your work here and elsewhere.

Pus5y.

Bump, is this still a thing? Any chance there will be an open race for 14:30 to 15 min 5K guys?

Just saw this thread. I’d be willing to help out.
