2005 Roxbury Handicap Race

    June 18 will feature the annual Roxbury Handicap on the 2.4 mile "down Chalybes" course.  The race is usually barely controlled chaos, so it is good if people have some idea what they are doing.  Here's what you can do.

    Below is the "handicap table."  For everyone who has run this year, we've taken a typical time this year and used that to predict how fast you'll run the 2.4 mile course.  Based on that, we've made a table of how much ahead of Jeff Sheldon you should start so that you and Jeff will finish at the same time. 

    To try to keep things manageable, we' ve rounded everything to the nearest 30 seconds. 

    You should find your name on this list and see what your start time should be.  We will start the watch at about 8:30.  14 minutes later, Jeff will start.  By then, everyone else will have started and Jeff will do his best to catch them.  If everything works perfectly, then everyone will get to the finish line within about 30 seconds.  We'll call it "pretty good"  if 2/3 of the people finish within two minutes.

    If it happens you haven't run Roxbury yet this year, you should take a recent 5k time and use that.  You'll find "names" like "5k in 27" and "5k in 34" on the list.  Use the start time corresponding to that.

    So, to help us organize this, when you sign in, there will also be a list like the one below.  If you put an "X" next to your name on that list, then we'll know to call your name when your start time comes.  Listen carefully, and be ready.  Anyone can win.

    Remember the three rules at Roxbury:

  1. Be safe
  2. Have fun.
