The USA Track & Field National Masters 8 km Championships - Prize Money and Awards Increase to $11,500! Welcome to our new sponsor, A Snail's Pace Running Shops!
A Snail's Pace Running Shops are many things to many people: for some they are a local source for specialty running supplies, staffed by knowledgeable, helpful employees. For others A Snail's Pace is a place to learn to run better and faster: ASPRS organize their own Running Academy, to inspire runners to discover their maximum potential. A Snail's Pace is also a valuable supporter of USATF: they have stepped up to provide additional prizes to participants in the 2014 USATF USA Masters 8 km Championships, on February 23, 2014, in Brea CA.
