This race was just for fun. I ran wearing a gargoyle costume. My time would have got 2nd place in the race last year. This year word got out that tre is a 100/50/25 prize structure, the the fast guys came out ihn force. I was somewhere around 10-15th.

I hate it when that happens. One time back back in Michigan, myself and my two roommates decided to try to cherry-pick a po-dunk 5K and win some "easy" money for our Memorial Day party later that afternoon. Sure enough, two former D-I runners and a random Hansons guy show up, and we took 4-6. No money.

But I bet you were the first of the gargoyles.

Short races are the worst to get money at. First, there is not a lot. Second, it takes as little three guys that can keep up with you that have a better kick to keep you out of money. Marathons are a different story, although I've had my share of running a decent time, and getting either age-division win $50 or nothing. On the other hand, I've also had my share of running slower than 2:30 and getting $1000 with a comfortable margin. Unlike 5 Ks and 10 Ks, marathons can be cherry-picked with success if you are willing/able to race many of them to offset the fluctuations of chance. And compared to short races, they pay very well.
