[USMA:24172] running a 5k

[Matthew Zotter]

2002 DEC 22 SUN   A least 5k runs (5 km race) are common in the USA; but if you run one, the couse tends to still be marked off in miles and a time-caller is at every mile marker.  How do you think we can influence runners to want their run speed in minutes per km rather than minutes per mile?  Is there a centralized running association in the United States that sets standard or would we have to bother every race coordinater in the country?   V/R Matthew Zotter SC, USA
