Expensive Registration Fees
This is going to be a very short post. I know that I am not the only one who thinks that the registration fees are too expensive.
Pardon me for my un-educated question, but why is it that races tend to be more expensive when there are brand sponsors ?
I mean, what is the point of having them if the runner pays for the entire shindig anyway ?
And honestly, how much really goes to the selected beneficiary ?
because running a days becomes a business. they are making money from road racing because runners just register even if the fees are expensive. condura run is one of the most expensive race but still thousands of runners will participate. for as long as the runners will patronize expensive races, fees will become higher and higher.
It is the pinciple of economics. Just like a can of soft drinks its contents will be the same no matter where you buy it, but, it will cost different in a hotel, in a mall, in a sidewalk or in a sari-sai store. It is now up to you where you would like to buy it and enjoy the other ammenities that goes with it. As for the races, its also up to the person if he wants the other ammenities and just a plain simple fun run.
Yup .. I remember the time when I thought that 500 was expensive. It seems that 750 is the standard for half-marathons. I hope that 850 won’t be the standard for the 42K.
Well said, Captain Amado sir. Thanks for dropping by
