You Can Vote to Bring Skirtchaser 5k Back to Raleigh

The last two years, the Skirtchaser 5k has put on two of the best parties in downtown Raleigh. The folks who came up with the running skirt put on these series of 5Ks around the country where the women start first --preferably after buying one of the running skirt packages -- and are followed by the men 3 minutes later. The first person to cross the finish line wins a sweet $500. In 2008 one of the men caught up to and passed the women to win, in 2009 one of the women held on to win.

They haven't officially announced all the cities in the 2010 series yet (Tempe will host the 2010 kickoff on February 13), and they've put up a vote page where you can vote to have them come back to Raleigh. Of course, they just want your e-mail address to take your vote, but heck, you can make up a temporary e-mail address, right? :-)

Yes, I did vote, and I'm hoping they come back in 2010.
