Anyone Can Win 5k - June 29th - Prospect Park
This is a unique prediction race format that's a nice change from just running as hard as you can. How well do you know your own pace? How often do you run with no watch and no sense of time? The winner of this event won't be the fastest runner, but the runner who knows their own pace best. When you register, you specify a "predicted" finish time -- and the winner is the person who is closest to this time. No watches can to be worn and there will be no time clocks on the course. Last year, the winner came in within 1 second of her predicted time, and the top 30% came in within 1 minute! There's no race tee shirt -- all proceeds go towards projects in Prospect Park to benefit the running community. Are you up for the challenge?

Are you interested in being a part of this event but don't want to run? Come volunteer! We are looking for people to help with day-of registration, bag check, course marshaling and more. Sign up to volunteer at http://paceracing.
2nd Annual Battle of Brooklyn 10 miler - August 21st - Prospect Park
This is a race that JackRabbit is really trying to develop; we greatly appreciate your help getting the word out and helping to boost registration before July 4 when the price goes up!
Join us on Sunday August 21st to make history by running the 2nd Annual Battle of Brooklyn 10 Miler in Prospect Park! The race commemorates the largest battle of the Revolutionary War, which was fought on the soil of Brooklyn 235 years ago. Participants will have the option of racing the entire 10 miles individually or as part of a 3-person relay team. The race course will be three loops of Prospect Park, taking you past several of the sites where the original Battle of Brooklyn was fought.
This year we're adding a new element: "Time your climb" sponsored by Garmin. Each runner will not only receive their splits for the three loops, but they'll also receive splits for climbing Prospect Park's big hill. In each age/gender category, there will be a "Time your Climb" winner for the fastest combined time up the hill, *and* for the most consistent times up the hill.
The course features two water stops with water, energy drinks and energy gels from Powerbar. All race participants will receive a snazzy JackRabbit "Circle Skyline" technical tee shirt (mens or womens).
Registration is just $20 if you sign up before July 4th, $25 after that, and $30 on race day. Relay teams of 3 can register for $55 before July 4th, $65 after July 4th. (No race day relay team registration.)
