Gate River Run Qualifying

The race director for the Gate River Run has come to his (or her) senses.  The Gate River Run is a 15K USA Championship race in Jacksonville, Florida.  My hometown!  They have changed the wave start qualifying times by several minutes making it easier to qualify for the wave starts.  The previous 301-1000 wave 10K qualifying time required a 40:00 finish time from a qualifying race.  Now it's 44:00 and I am in!  I used my ATC Resolution Run 41:21 finish time to register.  http://www.gate-riverrun.com/qualifying.htm
