Race length to enter qualifying time?

[PrincessAndrea'sMom]

Does anyone know what race length is the minimal to enter a time for the Princess Half? I know I have read it before somewhere, but can not find it now! I am doing a 10 miler in my hometown in August. Is that long enough to enter a time for an earlier corral? Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, a 10k is fine, so your 10 miler will definitely work.

Most definitely, a 10k for a half and a 10 mile for a full are the minimum distances.

What you want to find is a race that is mis-measured. I ran a 6 mile 10k earlier this year. I had a PR but then I realized the race was short. I no longer have a new PR for the year.

I used my CHIPPED 8.3 mile 2nd segment of last year's W&D Relay for entry in this year's GOOFY. Walking the 8.3 miles in 1:20:14 put me in Corral B for the 1/2M and Corral C for the Full. As mentioned, a 10K Chipped will do.
