New Balance RealRun (NBRR) 2007 should consider give more cash prizes,this is not a Sea games or Asian games or track and field meet to give top three prizes.
This is a mass event and entry fee is not cheap.
So far two major run events finished they had give more than three cash prizes.
You can’t deny that prices of most running events had risen significantly this year, mainly to adequately cater to the increased running attendance in the event (which includes more costs for med coverage, drinks, etc goodie bags, shoebag, event tee, etc).
True that the shirts will cost cheaper to the organisers, but considering a NB shirt and shoebag costing over $40 if you were to get them from their concept store, I personally think for a $30 reg fee + refreshments + run + venue booking, its still too much to ask for more prizes since we are already getting reasonably a good deal.
