#27	Old Slow Guy March 19 at 12:04am If there is a chick race then there should also be a section for old slow guys (with a limp). Its only fair. reply
#26	Ann Gaffigan March 18 at 10:58pm Just checked back and it looks like they changed the rules above. When I posted my first comment, it said "Male Only" where it now says "Male (sub 4:05 mile), Female (sub 4:48 mile) *Difference between men's WR and women's WR is ~29 seconds. Women will be given a 29.43 second head start." I guess they heard us! Kudos to you Puma. reply

BUT, BUT, BUT....having no women's mile (or better yet, a women's 1500m, as women do not have the same history with the mile as men), is truly a mistake!

#18	Anonymous Coward March 12 at 7:04pm koko said: “i think this is an awesome thing that puma is doing, but it really is sad that there is not an equal chance for women to get a contract too. there would be more fast women competing after college and in an event like this if there were more post-collegiate opportunities for women. look at the post-collegiate teams that do exist. they are primarily men. if more women had a chance, the competition would get better. this is just perpetuating the fact that women do not have as many opportunities post-collegiately as men do and hurting women's running in the u.s.” Open your eyes and lean the truth.The reason more men run in "Post-Collegiate" groups is because of the lack of interest from the women to run after college. Most women don't and wont live the life of a runner! E-mail any group and ask them for yourself, they will tell you! PUMA MILE BABY!!! reply
#17	Anonymous Coward March 12 at 1:15pm maybe the logical reason is that puma doesnt owe you a damn thing and it is just a blessing that they will be able to hold a mile race. I dont see many pole vaulters coming on here complaining about equal opportunities. I tell ya, american woman can be such female dogs at times! reply
#16	Anonymous Coward March 12 at 12:49pm I just briefly read through all of this, so im not sure- does it say anywhere that you have to be a man to compete? whats not fair? if ann doesnt like it, maybe she should get in their and win in it! reply

#12	Anonymous Coward March 10 at 8:38pm There are way more fast men that run unattached, then women who run unattached. A guys race will be loaded. Maybe next year. Lets support the guys and not be so NEGATIVE! reply
#11	Anonymous Coward March 10 at 8:31pm you know whats wrong? Title IX why not give the guys a break now? reply
#10	Anonymous Coward March 10 at 3:08pm Ann Gaffigan said: “For the 2nd straight year, Puma holds a mens-only race. Last year the excuse was, the economy was tough and there wasn't enough money for prize money for a men's and women's race. What's the excuse now? Maybe there is a logical reason, and if so, I'd like to hear it. Sorry, I hate to be negative, but this is just too wrong.” Maybe you could make sestion of female athletes around 4:30 that are not sponsored or in college that could compete. If they see a field to be had maybe they will open it up. reply
