Brittany… I can tell a distinct difference between the 2 groups. The pros will approach & race the event almost as if their lives depended on it & take it very seriously… Think of marathons like the ones in New York, London & even the famous “Hawaii Ironman” triathlon & how some will race just to say they’ve done them & finished, which, as you’d know, is a huge accomplishment.

…Then, you’d get the “fun run” group… Those who may turn up in bizarre costumes or with their families to run together & have fun without taking the event or themselves too seriously & it doesn’t matter to them how long it takes to finish. For obvious reasons, they start well behind the pros. We have a well known race here in Australia (in Sydney) called the “City to Surf” fun run, open for all to take part in & they have “staggered” start lines for various groups.
