If you sign up for the 3rd annual Theta 5K Run (presented by SMU Athletics)
on Saturday, November 14.

Complimentary parking in Binkley garage (limited).
Email flyer says:

Receive a free ticket to the SMU v UTEP football game and a $20 discount at Luke's Locker with your race packet.

Will be interesting to see how many use this offer.

I am a runner. Last year as I was arriving at the campus for homecoming I noticed there was a 5K race. Because I had limited information regarding this race I was unprepared I did not enroll in the run. This year I sent an e-mail to the Theta 5K organizer with some suggestions. One suggestion was to post/advertise the 5K on specific web sites that I know are frequented by runners. They posted at none of them. My point is I view it as a token effort by some coed to be on a committee with limited effort to draw runners.
Here are a few of the sites I told her about.

1) http://www.runningintheusa.com/Race/List.aspx?State=TX
2) http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/racefin ... e%20Finder
3) http://www.runontexas.com/calendar/Calendar.htm

You are thoughtful to have posted this information. You can see that the Thetas did not.
If this was run properly, they could have expected a much better turn out.

I'll probably catch he-l-l from my wife who is a DG from S.M.U. for posting it, too! Too bad the Thetas didn't take the initiative, as you suggested. Notice that the flyer does say 'presented by SMU Athletics', too. Perhaps someone in the SMU Athletics Department should have also done as you suggested...?

I just want to see more people in Ford supporting the Mustangs this Saturday!

If BUS decides to run the race I would like to request his free ticket.
