On the one hand, I am glad I am seeing more and more of these types of running events. On the other hand,medals for such short races are getting a little out of hand and are driving up entry fees.
I understand Jamoosh but these are great races and worth the extra money(and not much different from any other race in area cost wise). Also, you have to run at least the 10k in each race to get the medal for that race.
So excited to do the Kona triple crown as is my 8 year old daughter. One thing I wish Kona would do though is break the age groups to under 14 as my 8 year old did Solstice in 1:30 but had no chance against the 14 year olds - saw a few younger on the course as well so it would be nice to add 8 and under or even 7 and under, 8-10, 10-12, etc or whatever makes sense based on your registrations to give the little ones some recognition on a huge 10K accomplishment. My daughter is excited for the Wicked 10K and we are signing up soon!
