New Race for Sponsorship: Brentwood!

On May 28th, Jake will run the Brentwood 5k in toney Brentwood, California, and you can once again Join Team Jake!

To tell you a bit about the Brentwood race, it is a large race, with a generally competitive field. Whereas Chinatown, for example, attracts competitive runners as well as a large number of non-competitive runners (me, for example), Brentwood is more of a runner's race. Having said that, it's still quite a large field. Also, Jake will be in the 14 and under division, which means that he'll be running with kids as old as 14 years and 11 months old, whereas he just turned 8.

Brentwood is a special race to Jake, because two years ago, it was his first race, and this will be his third running. Last year, he ran 25:04 at Brentwood, setting his then PR. Here's more about the race.

This year, we're once again supporting WorldVision with his race. Here's how the sponsorship goes:

$10 for running and finishing the race
$5 for breaking his current PR (24:08, set at Chinatown)
$5 for finishing in the top 10 (last year, he would have had to run about 23:30 to do that)
$5 for finishing under 23:00

Again, the max total is $25, depending on the outcomes.

Last time, Jake raised $900, which meant he exceeded his goal of collecting enough to sponsor one child and actually sponsored more like 2 and a half.

To let us know you're sponsoring him, just email me. Alternatively, leave a comment on the blog with your email address, and I'll make sure you're once again on Team Jake!
