If we start a new Women's only race in Muncie..?
Quote | Reply
All:

We are strongly considering launching a NEW Women's only Tri/Du/AQB sprint and Oly and 5k Run/Walk in Muncie for August 2013.

What should we consider doing different than the other women's only races?

Your thoughts?

1. Shirts that fit women :)

2. Allow check-in race morning. Coming from Chicago, I would definitely arrive in Muncie the night before the race, but this past year, the check in times for the 70.3 meant I had to take a full day off work in order to get to check in on time (this is assuming a Saturday race). I don't mind arriving the night before, but being on a time limit with an early cutoff on a Friday is hard - I would rather work the full day (or even 1/2 day), THEN make the drive, knowing I can get my packet in the morning.

3. Would be nice if there was also a kids race the same weekend - then the family could have fun too (just b/c I know you have great kids races - my son did the one the day after the Muncie 70.3 last year)

I would absolutely consider a women's race in Muncie if I can work in into my schedule. Keep us posted!

We will indeed announce the race soon; by the end of the month for August 10, 2013 in conjunction with a host of events all on the same day with multiple distances, types and a 5k Run/Walk too.
1. Shirts for women-yes
2. Packet Pick-up race day-yes
3. A Sunday Kids race is very problematic at the lake. We'll have to review hard on that option.

We'll announce registration opening soon!

Thanks!

I like the multiple distances. This might get me back in the pool!

It will be our standard race package:

Oly/Sprint Tri and Du, AQB at the Oly distance, an all event team option and a 5k Run/Walk.

Most races will not try that at home but we have an outstanding, seasoned team with 21 years in the sport. And a timer with nerves of steel!

The reason we do all those distances is the inspiration part of all our finish lines. We produce 'Life Changing Finish Lines'(tm) by showing that all ages, all sizes, all types can finish something and then look to the next distance or race for more inspiration.

All of the other womens-only races in the area are in the late fall as well, or at least they were in the past few years. It would be nice to have an early-season option to get the womens out & involved early. Give them some sort of early motivation as the spring/summer season is nearing & an opportunity to get more women together bonding earlier in the year. Then you might be able to increase the participation in the other races throughout the season.

I think in general the Indiana market tries to cram a WHOLE LOTTA STUFF into Aug, Sept & Oct. Meanwhile Terre Haute is the first/earliest option that tends to draw a big crowd. Then there used to be (may still be, not sure) this lull for a couple of months before the rest of the series' get going. My vote would be to give women an earlier option & hook them early so they'll maybe do another one or two in the same year.

My $.02.
