AT&T
Dash for the Cash
Head start will
be given to one person in race for $2,500 bonus
One lucky
participant in the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k on
April 5 will be given a head start to race against the
rest of the field of 30,000 participants in the AT&T
Dash for the Cash.
The contest
will draw one random winner from among everyone who has
registered by March 1. That person will be given a pre-determined
head start on the course based on their ability. When
the race begins at 8:30 a.m., the contestant will try
to out-run the rest of the field to the finish line. The
person who crosses the finish line first will win the
$2,500 AT&T Dash for the Cash prize.
“This
is a contest that we think will add even more excitement
to the race,” said executive director Jon Lugbill.
“While it’s a foregone conclusion that a small
group of elite athletes have a chance to win the race,
the AT&T Dash for the Cash gives one lucky participant
the opportunity to cross the finish line first and grab
the $2,500 bonus. And, the best thing about our out-and-back
course is that most of the 30,000 other participants will
be running up one side of Monument Avenue cheering on
our contestant as he or she is running the other way trying
to hold off the elite athletes to the finish line.”
To help the
lucky contestant prepare for the Dash for the Cash, he
or she will get advice and guidance prior to the race
from the contest’s honorary coach Bart Yasso, who
is race and event promotion director and contributing
writer for Runner’s World magazine. Yasso has extensive
running experience, completing over 150 marathons around
the world including the Boston Marathon, NYC Marathon,
Antarctica Marathon, Mount Everest Marathon and the Mount
Kiliminjaro Marathon. He has also completed the Badwater
146 miler through Death Valley.
