  • The Impact of Prize Money on Marathon Performance and Acclaim
    THE IMPACT OF PRIZE MONEY ON MARATHON PERFORMANCE AND ACCLAIM A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Colbert Heathcott March 2015 THE IMPACT OF PRIZE MONEY ON MARATHON PERFORMANCE AND ACCLAIM Colbert Heathcott March 2015 Economics Abstract In the past century, marathon running has become a major phenomenon in society. As a result, race participation and frequency have increased in the United States over the past decade. With the increased growth of the sport, the amount of money and the overall economic impact of races have risen, causing event organizers and sponsors to face decisions involving race awards and funding. Using an OLS regression model, this study examines the impact of prize money on marathon performance and acclaim. Results reveal marathon running to be exempt from incentive theory, as athletes do not perform better as a result of increases in winning prize money. Prize money also has no significant impact on the popularity of marathon events. Other factors, such as marathon location and history, significantly affect the acclaim of a marathon event. A thorough understanding on the impact of prize money is necessary for the future of the growing sport of marathon running. KEYWORDS: (Marathon, Incentive, Sports Marketing) ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Colbert Heathcott Signature Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Judy Laux for advising me throughout the process of this research. I would also like to thank Will Richmond for Monday dinners, morning laps in the pool, and forcing me to go to the library.

(4) Have completed one or more races at least 20K (12.4 miles) or longer 2010/2011.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • Former Buff Kara Goucher Settles for PR in Boston
    Page 1 of 2 Former Buff Kara Goucher settles for PR in Boston She finishes fifth in marathon Associated Press Boulder Daily Camera Posted:04/18/2011 11:43:41 PM MDT BOSTON -- Kara Goucher was practically prophetic in describing the one outcome she'd like to achieve at the Boston Marathon. "I just want to win," the former University of Colorado standout said days before the race. "Sure, I would love to get a (personal record), but I would rather be the 2011 Boston Marathon champion than have some PR. Hopefully, I would break the PR someday. But no one else can ever be the 2011 Boston Marathon champion." Unfortunately for Goucher, she got the PR and not the victory on Monday. She finished the 26.2-mile race in 2 hours, 24 minutes, 52 seconds to add a fifth-place finish to her third in 2009. Goucher missed last year's marathon because she was pregnant. But, just six months after giving birth to her son, Colt, she was back in the field and hoped to make a run at becoming the first American winner since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in 1985. Instead Kenya's Caroline Kilel claimed the title in a back-and-forth battle with American Desiree Davila. Davila held the lead in the closing miles, lost it and then pushed back to the front several times before she ran out of surges just before the finish line. "My legs were just shot," Davila said. "That was all I had, and she was just better today." Although she failed to become the first American to win the event since 1985, Davila did run the fastest time by a U.S.

However, for MGH Institute of Health Professions, strategic planning is an unfolding and dynamic process that periodically offers us a vital opportunity to re-envision our desired future, a process that has proved successful in directing our investment of time, effort, and resources. Further, it has the added benefit of assuring we remain ever mindful of our guiding principles, values, and priorities as we go about our daily work. We initiated the latest round of strategic planning in early 2014. This broad–based process engaged our faculty and staff, students, alumni, senior leaders, trustees, and external stakeholders to share their unique perspectives of the Institute’s strengths as well as opportunities for improvement. Participants reflected on such trends and issues as the Affordable Care Act, changing population demographics, student affordability and debt burden, and accountability for program excellence, and were invited to suggest what priorities should form »the core of the new plan.
