When to hold race?

Post by silvermoondragon »

I am planning to do another interactive race for January, and of course a major part of an interactive race is the interaction! So I've put together this poll to see when would be the best time to hold one.

For this race, I'll probably do signups right before the race and first come first serve, to encourage as much participation as possible.

Please pick a time that's best for you(morning, afternoon, evening), as well as a few days that might work out the best. Feel free to post as well if things get too complicated for the poll options. Jan 27 is also an option, but the poll would only allow 10 choices. You can also suggest weekdays, I just figured more people would be free on the weekends.

Oops... edited to fix the poll days to actually be January XD

Er... *looks at calendar then poll then calendar* Did you mean to list all the Tuesdays and Wednesdays instead of the Saturdays and Sundays?

Pretty much any weekend should be good for me, and weekends are definitely easy for me to make it than weekdays. I like mornings and afternoons your time, but can probably make Saturday evenings. I'd love to get a chance to play in another interactive race! The last one was such fun!

Weekends are also generally good for me, and evenings are best. Work and school take up my days!

Friday or Saturday evenings would be the absolute best.

XD To be perfectly honest, I have no clue about my upcoming schedule for being busy/not, for the time being, I'm fairly certain any time at night works for me XD

Weekends are not good for me at all. lol.
The Tuesday/ Wednesday thing is actually perfect(especially morning/ early afternoon!) for me, but I'm thinking that may have been a mistake?

Anyway, no matter what day you run a race, I'll do my best to attend. It's just far less likely I'll be able to on a weekend. - I'd definitely rather see it run on a weekend though, if that's when everyone else is available, of course!

The 6th, the 26th, and Saturday mornings and afternoons all do not work for me. The 6th doesn't as well, cause I'll be at a hockey game (Eee!)

Other than that, anytime really XD Weekdays will need to be evening, and not Wednesdays, haha.

I prefer mornings and afternoons to evenings, but it doesn't really matter too much. Just so long as I have a little warning I can probably make it.

I'm excited about the potential of an interactive race, I can't wait!

Weekend mornings are better for me, but I can usually make time evenings and nights, too.

So excited!

From people's comments, it seems like Saturday evenings seem to work out the best so I will hold the race this weekend, on the 19th.
I will have signups open at 5:00pm PST(first come first serve) and the race will start at 7:00pm PST.

I'll be off in Illinois visiting the brother, so I won't be available. I'll look forward to seeing the results, though!
