Wallie Jahn, the owner of Road & Track Sports in New Milford, Conn., is also the race director for Friday's New Balance Moonlight Run 5-K. He still has openings for elite athletes in his field willing to compete for the following prize money:

1st   $750
2nd    300
3rd    250
4th    150
5th    100
6th     75
7th     75
8th     50
9th     50
10th   25

There is also a $250 bonus for bettering the course records of 13:58 and 15:51, so a record-setting winner would earn $1000.

The course is very flat, with an out and back configuration. The race starts at 8:00 p.m., and Wallie can offer overnight accommodations to a limited number of athletes.

Qualified athletes or their representatives should contact Wallie at roadntracksports@charter.net or 1 203 770 6772 (cell) as soon as possible. The race website is www.roadntracksports.com/Moonlight.
