Flashes of Panic

There are four road races in Amherst over the nine days starting tomorrow. Three of them are fund-raising 5Ks at UMass.

• The Push Race 5K, Saturday the 26th
• The College Towne Classic 5-miler, Sunday the 27th
• The Run for Namawanga 5K, Saturday, May 3rd
• The “Amherst 5K”, Sunday, May 4th

There are maybe two other races in Amherst over the course of the rest of the year. Why can’t they spread them out more? They’d get more runners at all four races, and everyone would raise more money.

On the other hand, this makes finding a race to fit one’s schedule quite easy.
