Purpose:

The primary purpose is to provide race/event reports from the rec.running forum at one convenient location. This Web site is intended as a supplement to the Google/dejanews archives not a replacement. Since only the reports will be kept here, all report discussions can found on Google.

Goals:

• Make sure that the report authors' rights and wishes are preserved (including the wish not to have their reports in the archive).
• Present the material in a form that is easy to use.
• Make the material available through any Web browser on any operating system. (For example, while most browsers can handle frames, they don't all handle them the same way so frames were not used for this Web site.)
• Avoid the use of extraneous content or procedures that do not pertain directly to reports. (No Java, Javascript, ActiveX, DirectX, Tcl, or special plugins.)

Suggested Usage:

• Checking a report of a specific race/event from someone who participated.
• Gathering ideas for things to do (and not do) during a race/event.
• Getting an idea of how other people perceived a race/event.
• Spending a little time reading about running in a race/event from "everyday" people.
